Same location here. I used to use the Comcast local channels, while only
subscribing for broadband, but got an antenna when the started encrypting
CBS locally. Just last month I moved to all OTA and changed providers to
Frontier FIOS. I can get all the major broadcasters with an antenna aimed
at the towers up on Sylvan Hill.
