I have the same experience with broadcast TV.  I got one of the $50  
converter boxes and tried it out with a pair of rabbit ears.  I got  
ION, three Spanish channels, and two religious broadcasters.  I put  
the converter box in my closet and went back to cable.

I wonder if broadcast TV is headed the way of shortwave.  When  
Internet and satellite radio became common, most major broadcasters  
abandoned shortwave and it's now mostly the province of religious  
broadcasting.
