I pull in 50 channels from Orlando with an over-the-air antenna installed by Tom at the VillagesAV.com. Call Tom for more information. I live on the southside. Tom is excellent.

It has morphed into hundreds of channels with hundreds of thousands of commercials for $50+ per month. This is all overseen by the same government that oversees Amtrak, USPS, and now your healthcare (just sayin').
As for Comcast, while it was nice that they were providing "over the air" signals via the cable that they run to your house, I don't necessary fault them for charging for that service. After all, they are a business (although probably a poorly run business) and they should be able to charge for the services they provide. The real problem is that TV is too far from both Orlando and Ocala to easily get strong signals from either with an antenna.
