also,
i'm going to miss my recorder very much as I will have to return it to the cable company this month which means no more recording my favorite shows.  is there a recorder I can get for antenna TV or should I just use my vcr?
thank you so kindly, ordinarygirl

I don't know if you got an answer to your recorder question, but the new Tivo
HD will record over the air
HD programming. It is 300 bucks for the machine (unless you can get in on a deal -- upgrades, buying a previously opened box, etc where it is 200). It also is 12 bucks a month for the service. That said, if you get your antenna going with Tivo, you can use Netflix for 9 bucks a month and stream tons of programming directly to your box. This of course requires internet-- I don't know if you have that already or if that is a part of the 85 bucks you are dropping.
