Off the Air (Free) HD TV in Grayson County Virginia

After enduring arbitrary rate increases, fraudulent and overcharges from DirecTV, I decided it was time to go back to free off the air television. After several hundred dollars and many trips up the tower, I now receive a handful of television signals. Other than nagging pledge requests from PBS stations, no one is asking for half the food budget for TV.  Now if I can come up with a comparable HDFM solution, I can go back to reading books, playing the piano, walking, tending the garden, all secure in the knowledge that mindless escape is only a few clicks away.
