They don't mention that Comcast charges more for broadband if you don't have cable service. You can opt for BASIC1 cable and pay less overall than if you had no cable service at all.

Besides that, using OTA only works well if you a) have a good line of site to the broadcasting tower (trees create multipath signals, which give you ghosts) b) aren't too far away (25+ miles) c) don't mind storms interrupting your TV shows and d) can find some way to snake coaxial cable into your house since e) you'll want a good outdoor antenna (Channel Master makes great ones), not some bunny ears.

The nice thing about having BASIC1 is that you can pull the HD channels off your cable connection without paying any additional fees. Often, the bit rate isn't as good as OTA but it's a more dependable signal.
