Personal Info

Me

Wife

3 Boys all under the age 7

(they seem to be partially on-board with my crazy idea.  Disney channel and Bravo may be an issue but I will cross that bridge when I get there)

So this is where we stand in regards to the current setup.  I think the first order of business for this transition is to figure out the antennae and check to see what channels I will receive once I ditch cable.

I am heading to my local electronics store (Fry's) this weekend to purchase the set top antennae.  I will report back to let you know how I fared. 

Wish me luck!
