In some parts of our area they still have an A/B cable with 26 channels, which cause very many households to go with satellite.

But I have NO cable and NO OTA HD. When I lived in the city, I had 37 channel analog cable...that's when I switched to DirecTV. I wanted more choice. But the picture was worse most of the time (except for some ghosting on cable.)
