For those of you who got ditched cable and started using a digital antenna. Could you tell me which digital antenna you bought, its effectiveness in the triangle, and what are the channels you're getting?
I am finally ditching cable with my move to Raleigh from NYC. I just ordered my service and NO CABLE TV package
I can't guarantee this will work, but hook your TV up to the cable outlet and see if you get channels. I've been hearing from a lot of people that they've been able to get the basic channels even without subscribing to cable.
I got rid of my TW cable and phone about a year ago. I love it...Kiss my butt TWC
I'm sure there are better than the GE model 24700 amplified indoor antenna I bought at Target...$30
I get great reception on UNC 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3
WRAL 5-1 and 5-2
WTVD 11-1, 11-2 and 11-3
WNCN 17-1 and 17-2
WLFL22-1
Country 22-2
WRDC 28-1
RF 46-1
WRAZ 50-1
ME-TV 50-2

We still get basic on one of old lines, but we no longer have a TV in that room. My wife occasionally take a small set to watch something of interest.
I did a LEAF antenna and had good luck. No matter which one I have tried in the Holly Springs area, antenna needed to be near a Window, even with amplified to get the channels clearly. I think an attic antenna or roof antenna would definitely be best, but if inside, I think it just depends on your house, terrain, etc... on how many channels you are going to get without pixelation.
(I left off a few channels I get, that don't excite me (Spanish broadcast, country videos, etc.). So I guess I'm actually getting 18 channels that I watch.
Is anyone able to get any sport channel? Like ESPN? My biggest concern right now is being able to watch the world cup live.
