I don't like saying this but I suggest keeping the cable for the locals. And check out Roku/Netflix.
http://www.roku.com . Roku is the little box that receives 1,000's of movies and Tv shows via the internet for $8.00 a month. Also when you move , use tvfool to check out the places you are considering moving to see if the local channels can be received. For apt. locations and living you will need signal strengths of 20 NM(dB) and higher.
