If you are content with the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX plus a bunch of other stuff), you can use an over-the-air antenna and pick up these stations from Orlando for no cost (like in the good old days). We supplement with a Roku box to access Netflix and Hulu+. We stopped paying for cable/sat TV a while ago and don't miss it, especially the cost.

Has anybody done a recent comparison ?
