    pic quality Sunday ticket vs locals then prime?

    I don't have ota the ota would cost me to much where I'm at 20832, why would ota be better then a feed from dtv? also when Sunday night football (nbc4) comes on my picture is great , it's almost like its a bandwidth issue from dtv, ( if someone could guarantee a affordable ota I would buy it)
