> I have a cheap $20 antenna hanging in a window (you could use a suction cup) and I can get almost 40 TV channels

This doesn't work for everyone. When I put one up, I had to get a $100 directional antenna, a signal booster and mount it in the attic. Even then we had difficulty picking up some stations. Granted our neighborhood is in a big region, a good ways out and in a large depression.
