I was paying nearly $100 a month for cable, no premiums, just some HD channels. I paid less than $70 one time for the Hauppauge TV HD Stick USB 2.0 TV Tuner with PVR and I get over 25 channels, most in HD over the air, for free.
The installation is a bit tricky. Luckily, there was a young man at Best Buy who walked me through it. When the program says that the tuner is not found, you have to go into the step up and select the correct tuner. For some reason, the install program installs two and defaults to the bogus one.
