I would have dropped cable for OTA HD long ago, but two of the local TV stations in Cleveland (wouldn't you know it, the two stations whose subchannels are the ones I watch the most) have VHF DTV channels, which my Clear Cast OTA DTV antenna won't pick up -- that or else the stations' signals, for whatever reason, do not reach here (I am about 35 miles north and east of downtown Cleveland).

The Clear Cast does, however, receive all other OTA DTV stations in this area extremely well; in fact, I was not expecting the results I saw from this antenna when I first tried it on my flat screen. Channel 3, the NBC affiliate in Cleveland, did not reach my area in analog at all, but its digital signal is as clear as a good photograph -- as I would and do expect from DTV. Ditto for channel 5 (ABC), channels 25.1 and 25.3 (PBS and PBS World in Cleveland) and channel 61 (Univision, the only Spanish OTA television station I am aware of in northeastern Ohio).
