I&#x27;ll also chime in to say that we have a similar deal.  Not as cheap but still less than a lot of people pay.  I usually get 100-120mbps down and 10-ish mbps up, cable with a bunch of channels that I never watch (but my gf seems to want), some of the channels are in HD, many are just stretched SD, again, I don&#x27;t really care since I don&#x27;t watch much.  The &quot;main&quot; channels are in HD at least.  Also HBO (main channel in HD, others in scaled SD) but I only really use it for access to HBO Go.<p>As far as hardware, I only get the tuner&#x2F;DVR from Comcast.  Own my own modem and router.  No phone service because it would be redundant.<p>Total cost is around $99&#x2F;mo.  I&#x27;d just as soon knock it down to internet only but that&#x27;s around $70&#x2F;mo and I&#x27;d spend the extra $30&#x2F;mo subscribing to the various services that carry programming I currently access with our cable account login.<p>Not saying it&#x27;s all sunshine and lollipops.  We&#x27;ve had the usual billing and service tech issues that come with these sorts of companies that cut every corner imaginable.  But when it works for most of the year, it does the job I guess.<p>On the subject of OTA antennas, I do have one hooked up to my PC&#x27;s tuner card (since they did away with any unencrypted QAM over the cable lines....bastards) and when I watch one of the 5-10 channels I can pick up, the local HD broadcasts look so much nicer than the compressed stuff on cable.  I actually prefer to throw a football game on my secondary monitor while I&#x27;m messing around on the computer rather than watch it over cable upstairs.
