Back To the Future

With all the talk about the coming Digital Transition and the shut off of Analog television signals, there is one interesting option for some viewers which might make sense depending on your TV habits and that is considering an over-the-air signal instead of cable or satellite service.

Certainly this isn't a choice if you are a heavy viewer of  channels which come exclusively through cable of satellite delivery, but if most of your TV viewing is of local channels, and these local channels are all multicasting (such as WPBT now does), you may find you have more than enough choices to keep you happy AND it is all for free, just like the good old days.

Consider this survey which says that 62% of rabbit-ears watchers are opting for converter boxes or new digital TVs.  Of course if you can't live without HBO or ESPN, then this isn't the best solution for you, but if most of your TV time is spent watching your local channels, with more local options available through stronger digital signals, you can't beat the price.
