Who else watches most of the games via over the air HD signals?

I was this close to paying Cox Communications an arm and a leg for HD cable and terrible customer service when I stumbled across the fact that you can get high def using friggin bunny ears! My only reason to get cable was for the couple regular season Saints games that don't come on network tv, along with the preseason. It'd also be nice to watch Monday Night Football, but hey there's always friends' houses and bars for that sort of thing. Anyway, has anyone else here reliably watched the games with over the air signals?

Don't let Cox give you a serious dicking! Watch football the way your forefathers did! Use antennas!

Go Saints!

HD antenna?

Have you guys tried an HD antenna? There are specific ones available and I’ve been thinking about it for my apt in BTR.

Almost got one

Yeah I almost bought one, but then I realized that I was picking up HD with the bunny ears. I’m not sure, but it seems like antennas labeled “HD antenna” are no better than any other antennas. However, maybe they are stronger or something and can pick up signals from further away. I live close to Bayou St. John, and since we’re so close to where the stations are broadcast, we have little trouble picking up nice and clear signals. I’m not sure what the situation would be in the Rouge…

This website has a ton of info about antennas: http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx
You can even put in your address and it will tell you the best type of antenna to use and how to position it etc.
