Me too! I plugged an ATSC antenna into a new TV and performed a channel scan
and it picked up like 200 channels. Besides the main network stations, the
others just seem to be foreign language, religion, and home shopping. So 200
channels of crap, but it (mostly) looks good.

Where I live DSL is bandwidth limited to like 5Mbps down and 512Kbps up
(something like that) *with* transfer limits, which sucks for running public
TCP/IP servers. I switched to cable a while back and while it is more
expensive, I'm getting a lot more for the money.
