I too cut the cable in 2009 when I saw what I could get over the air for free. And the number of free OTA channels has grown since then. There are only two shows I consider "must see TV", and both are on the major broadcast networks in beautiful Hi Def. With Netflix streaming to supplement that plus hundreds of other Internet streaming channels through Roku, I will never go back to paying to watch commercials. Anyone considering cutting the cord should go to antennaweb.org, put in your address and it will show you what you can get OTA from your location with a rooftop antenna. And keep in mind that each channel listed may also have 2-3 sub channels. You can get a decent antenna and a rotor for about the cost of 2-3 months of the typical cable TV bill.
