Go to avsforum.com. Go To HDTV -> Local reception forums. Look up your
metropolitan area and search for the answer to your question. If
you don't find it, then post a question in your local area thread.

FWIW, Cox in Phoenix has the broadcast channels unencrypted. I have
a TV with integrated ATSC/QAM tuner that I just hook to the Cox feed
for my OTA viewing.
