You can possibly avoid antenna woes if your willing to pay comcast for
their basic service (I believe it is ~$10/mo) or are maintaining a
possible existing cable modem service through them I beleive you would
still have access to the analog tv signals on the line.. They have all
the OTA channels on their cable line unencrypted and tuneable with any
ATSC tuner card. I current have Comcast and use three ATSC cards (Two
A180's and a HD3000) to record these channels.

I say possibly, because if your signal from Comcast isn't as good as
your antenna signal then it wouldn't save any woes.
