Basically, it's a choice between >rapacious cable fees or nothing to watch. I paid about $50 for a RECOTON (rabbit ears type) antenna. It is powered, and receives (in Savoy) 3,12,15,17 *very* well (I'd say one noticible difference less well than my father's cable in Los Angeles, and 2 noticible differences better than a regular antenna. In any case, I haven't subscribed to cable yet (though I really wish I had had CNN during Desert Storm). I see these things advertised in the COMB catalog now, though I bought mine at Best Buy. COMB doesn't sell them any cheaper than Best Buy did. Frank Fujita
