Rogers Digital Basic (the cheapest package) already gives you HD for
main Canadian and US channels.  Why do you need antenna, then?

Right now, I have everything with Rogers (ie. tv, home phone, wireless,
internet), of which cable tv is the biggest portion of the bill.  So,
I'm very interested in your antenna setup.  I look forward to your talk.
