Have seen a lot of threads about people leaving whatever cable/TV provider they've had, and going to an Over-The-Air (OTA) solution of one type or another - attic-mount, roof-mount, eave/side of house mount, etc. Some have put in directional antennas, some the omni-directional type. I get all the physics and engineering of this option (OTA) and what goes into getting the signals to your house.

Here's what I'd like someone in TV who has done this successfully list for me - a simple list - of all the channels they are receiving OTA. If it's too large to put in a post, then attach a .pdf or .doc file, or maybe a link to a website. I've seen claims of 58, 65, 88, and on and on. I am not interested in "duplicate" channels with the same programming (i.e., 4 NBC feeds in different languages). If the only difference is SD vs HD signals, that's ok. It's just that I'm really curious what everyone is dumping cable/sat tv service to watch. I also know many combine other services like AppleTV or ChromeCast USB sticks, and subscriptions to ESPN, HBO, etc., to stream to their TV, so that's not a big deal.

So that's the net out: What are all those channels coming in OTA? And how many are truly worthwhile/different?
