Ditching Cable Television

I almost, almost got satellite but they wanted to put a huge HD disk in my yard area. I went pale, got the shakes and I backed out. I couldn't commit to a monstrosity so I reverted to my original idea of dumping cable and getting an antenna. I may do an outdoor if possible but thinking indoor antenna for now.

My reasons are that I spend 50 dollars on tv I hardly ever watch. Maybe 2 hours a week.
I can get tv programs on the internet, if I so desire.

I pulled in three stations with rabbit ears one Sunday but lost them.
The HD quality over antenna was actually better via rabbit ears than it was cable oddly. Crystal clear and sharp.

The antenna I have chosen is the Terk HDTVA antenna. Does anyone here use an antenna and if so what do you use?

The best thing is I am going to save 600 dollars in the next year on eliminating cable television. My car will be paid off next month. The savings next eliminating those two bills will be 3000 dollars in the next year. The discipline is if I can put that money away as if I were still paying them.
