'Clear TV'...am I missing something?

(Sorry if this is in the wrong board; I couldn't decide where it fit in best.)

Okay, so I just saw a paid program for a new(?) mail-order product called 'Clear TV'. The program made it seem like a viable alternative to cable or satellite, allowing you to receive 'hundreds' of channels for free, in HD quality. The longer I watched, however, the more and more it sounded like they were hocking a glorified over-the-air ATSC broadcast antenna! There is no box or other unit that connects between your TV and the square, black antenna unit, and I heard or saw no mention of any channels being available that you couldn't get with standard OTA ATSC...which, in most areas, consists of five or six local stations, not the 'hundreds' they promise.

Seems like a scam to me!! I'll continue to watch ATSC broadcast channels on the one compatible TV I own using my 30-year-old rabbit ears, thanks.

Here is the product's website: http://www.cleartv.com/
