Unless you are in the largest markets, OTA won't get you many digital channels.
With the largest rooftop antenna I'd get NBC, PBS, ABC, FOX, probably CBS.
Counting sub-channels, that's still less than half the channels on my cable tier (@$100/year)
Only PBS has any decent sub-channels (some of the others offer 24 hour weather).
My TV is SD, as are both my lifetime Replay and lifetime Tivo.
For $100, I bought a portable battery-operated 7" digital TV that can get NBC (w/ its 24 hour weather) via the built-in antenna in case of storms.

An antenna would be $0/month and get you HD ...
