Have you noticed how easy it is to lose your locals during bad weather ?
That is the MOST important time to have them.
With the OTA set up I NEVER lose my locals.
I just pick up the TV remote and switch to the rabbit ears. The other night when we had all the tornadoes in Georgia, I thought about an AM21 for about 5 minutes. These days it's not worth $50 to me just to use one remote, and the thing won't fit in my TV stand anyway.
