I was surprised too, but the analogue station in Salem was what Glatt's antenna map link reported for my addess.

I saw your link to Roku, and was going to send a PM to you to ask
some of the questions you answered above. As I understand it,
we would need to keep some kind of ISP connection, either Comcast
or our via our telephone company.
Then the Roku would make the transfer from various "TV" sources to our tv set. ???

I want to look into that and AppleTV.
A $50 item doesn't seem like a terrible investment for equipment that should last quite a while.

Whatever information you can send to me (PM is OK) will be appreciated.
