I went that way in May, installation is in the attic. Picture is HD and reception is excellent. You get the sub channels, ie 6.1, 9.1, 35.1. If you will be satisfied with limited programming, do it. I went to Prism because we wanted more than the limited programming.

Get the biggest baddest ultra long range (65+ miles) UHF antenna you can find. Put it in the attic and aim it @ 119 degrees. (Southeast Orlando). You will get 40 or 50 channels depending on the strength of the tuner in your TV's.

I've installed over 80 attic antennas in The Villages with a 100% success rate. I can't guarantee it will work in every home but I tell all my customers if for some reason it doesn't, I won't sell you an antenna that doesn't perform to our expectations.

What are the channels that it gets? Do you get cable channels like TBS, CNN, FoxNews, Discovery, etc.?

Listen to Tom at Villages A/V. He just fixed us up and our reception (in The Village of Santiago) is fantastic.

No, those are pay to play. You only get over the air broadcast television.

Do you get the PBS channels like 15 and 24?

Yes, we get these plus PBS Cocoa, FL, on 68. 68.2 carries the "Arts" channel, one of our favorites. Tom AV installed our attic antenna. I miss a few cable channels but we were paying a lot of money per month to Comcast to have mostly stupid TV shows. We find lots of good entertainment via Roku, for instance, "Foyle's War" on Netflix, which we're now watching.
