OTA digital TV?

Anyone in the Davis Square area successfully pulling in TV signals with a TV antenna?

For a variety of reasons I'm looking to retire our cable, but I want some feedback before I buy a large antenna.

I tried it briefly about 3 years ago, with a $20 "HD antenna" that sat next to the TV (as opposed to needing to be installed on the roof or something) on the 1st floor of a 3-family house near Powderhouse. It seemed to work fine, though the occasional drop-outs were a little more frequent than what you get with digital cable. But I switched to HD cable a few days later so I didn't use the antenna for very long. I'm not sure if it's somehow improved since the digital switchover.
