One more question.

Any recommendations for a good outdoor antenna for hd? No space problems or trees blocking, most of my locals will come from towers maybe 40-80 miles away.

In addition to Netflix streaming, TivoHD also does blockbuster and Amazon on demand. When I did amazon on demand, it wasn't even DVD quality but maybe a lot has changed in 5 years.

After you get your HD tv setup, you should check to see how many channels you pick up before you cancel satellite/cable.

I get great OTA reception, so I could survive with OTA for sports and news, Netflix and Redbox.

Amazon's Unbox now offers HD TV shows and movies (HD costs a little more)

Outdoor antenna - UHF only, or do you need to pick up VHF as well?

antennaweb.org should be able to tell you.

The TivoHD's primary features is it's ability to record two shows at once and playback a previously recorded show at the same time.

You setup Season Passes ie. shows you want to record on a regular basis. The Tivo downloads automatically downloads a TV schedule database every 24 hours and will automatically adjust so it will never miss a show if it moves or is rescheduled.
