I do beg to differ on the notion that DTV is worse in terms of reception. With a proper antenna, it is actually superior and more reliable. I crafted my own antenna and installed it in our attic & we get 34 stations where we live, where analog reception was terrible & noise prone. We get all these stations in perfect clarity and with no breakup. Rabbit ears won’t cut it, unless you live in the city, so having a decent antenna IS a great investment that will pay for itself in just one month of use when properly installed. I now sell these antennas (Proudly made in the USA!) to anyone who wants one in their cord-cutting efforts. (wizworks.net/tv) We also use a home built DVR (but any DVR will do) with our off-air antenna and we are quite happy.

For internet, we now have FiOS @$54/month which we consider reasonable. Comcast wanted to punish us for terminating video service by raising the cost of our internet from $50/month to $67/month. I said NO! and we get our internet from Verizon over their FiOS network, which we’re quite happy with as well.

Say NO to cable! Cut the cord today!
