We went from a $130 TV+Internet Comcast package to OTA+Tivo HD & Netflix.
90% of our TV watching was already using our Tivo using a Comcast cable card, so switching to OTA was painless costwise. I only spent $150 to have an OTA antenna installed on our rooftop.
The only programming we miss on occasion is Food TV, some CNBC, CNN and some baseball. I figure saving $85 a month makes that worthwhile.
Having a Tivo DVR makes this family friendly. A Macmini based solution would not have worked in our family.
