<div>You might also keep in mind the fact that Comcast's ability to put more content in a single channel is due to their practice of degrading the quality of said content. I have seen the difference between OTA and Cable, and it is very noticeable.</div>

<div>Sure you might miss being able to record several channels at once from each tuner in your HDHR, but you will have fewer channels and less content to concern yourself with anyway.</div>

<div>I switched to OTA over a year ago, and other than CNN, I miss nothing. Sure, I have fewer medical and police drama's to choose from, but so what! I actually have found that the amount of content I consume has increased since I switched to OTA as I now spend more money renting DVD's or seeing more movies on the big screen.</div>
