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.

If you have an old UHF bowtie or loop antenna, give it a try. The new HD stations use the same frequencies, so the antenna should work OK for at least the strongest local stations.

I built one of these from coat hangers and it worked really well. My mother in law is using it on the south shore with a cheap converter box and works great.
