How much are you willing to spend? And how tolerant of erratic reception will you be?

Basic cable is $13 a month, so I was hoping the antenna would start paying for itself within a year. So about $150, I'd guess. Erratic reception wouldn't be the end of the world. I know it wouldn't be anything near cable, stability-wise, and that's all right.
I don't think a tower is anything I'd do, though. Top of the roof would be as high as I go, and that's about 30 ft.
I am still curious about life before cable -- what did people do in my town when all they could pick up were public access channels? How did they watch Carson, the Super Bowl, the World Series, etc.?
