Sorry to be off topic again but I wanted to reply to Doug.

As far as ditching cable or satellite all together.  I can get 32
subchannels with a good over air antenna.  In addition, with a Roku (some
TVs and DVD players will work too), I can watch Amazon on Demand, Netflix,
Hulu Plus, etc.

Amazon on Demand is paid per movie or show.  (They also have a prime
option.)
Netflix is like $8 per month.
Hulu Plus is like $8 per month.

With this who needs cable or satellite?

That is my two cents.
