Go to titantv.com, tell it you want to see broadcast channels, punch in your zipcode. It gives a semi-accurate list (with program listings). It throws in a couple of channels you can't reasonably get and omits a few but you will get the general idea.

Why not just turn on and tune in?? This will give you the best idea..The newer TV's already have the digital tuner and an antenna cost at the low end about $15.00 dollars and a really good one cost alot more. I have the cheap one and I get great reception. I live in 85018 and I get all the network channels, PBS and a few others..about 15 total..some are religious and some are Spanish...nothing fancy like cable etc...but it serves my purpose and it's free.

Default The price is right!

No, I don't mean the show! My mom uses the antenna [rabbit ears and adapter] only, and one of the nice features is that she gets 3 different Channel 8 features. I think she has to punch in 8-1, 8-2, or 8-3. Cutting the cable/dish [or never getting it in the first place] does save $$ every month.

I use an indoor antenna and get around 35 channels.

I do it because I have DirecTv at 2 different houses and states. All I have to do is pay 5 dollars a month for the receiver and that way not have to open another account for 60+ dollars a month from DirecTV.

I have small powered rabbit ears and a digital box. The rabbit ears sit behind the tv and you don't even know they are there. It gets all the local channels, weather channels and at least 3 pbs channels in HD. The HD quality is as good as the DirecTV HD.
