I am using a DB 4 mounted on my roof. 14th in HPP. We get 4.1, 4.2, 9.1, 10.1, 10.2, 11.1, 11.2, 14.1.
We also purchased a Magnavox 515 DVR/DVD-R. We can record show off the air just like the good old days of VHS but can now edit out the commercials and archive them on a DVD. We bought it from Walmart with free shipping to Kea'au for $180.
Doesn't record in HD but it is great to be able to skip commercials.
Wanted to buy another one but they are discontinued. No word on when a replacement model will be available in the north american market.
So nice not to be paying monthly fees under a contract to any dish or cable company. And unlike Tivo there is no monthly fee on the DVR. Also the machine is our so we get to keep the recordings and the machine if we move elsewhere.
What we lack in channels we make up for in Netflix or Hulu.
