I really haven't even missed cable, and I sure don't miss the bill!!
We also love our free TV in TV. However NBC is lost 10% of the time and CBS a little more. Sounds like you are getting much better reception. I'm using an Omni-Directional Antenna just below rooftop level. I'm considering taking it up 12 feet or going to a stronger directional antenna which would require a rotor as stations are located in all directions from here. Very curious, what antenna are you using?
