From my perspective, yes. For someone determined to tell the cable company 'get out and stay out', maybe not. As internet access bandwidth gets cheaper, the practicality of using that bandwidth improves.

Investing more than a years worth of cable billing into a commercial antenna, building a 100' tower or large rhombic array supported by four or six utility poles would also qualify as 'extreme' if I understand the context of TV Fool's use of the term.

Working outside the tower at elevations above 100' always feels a bit 'extreme' (to me).
