Varis, for all channels. I cut the cable back in 2007 when my wife quit her job and stayed home to raise the kids.
Usually any base channel has a 1080i channel then usually multiple low resolution channels (hard to tell when viewing). I've attached what I should get from my location. I used to get quite a few channels from Baltimore, and still should, but had to use the TV (Sammy sung) I got the kids a few years back to replace my LG that started having issues (it was 15 years old). The Samsung's tuner, for lack of a better word "sucks", so I need a really strong signal to have the TV pick up the signal. Also, I have to scan to add channels, where as the older TV would let you add a channel, which was nice (scan for your base channels, turn the antenna and add extra channels you pick up). I plan on purchasing a better main TV, since my wife wants the old one so she can do aerobics in the basement. Just gotta start researching them.
My main hope with this antenna is to be able to pick up some Philly FM stations (towers about 98 miles away) so I can listen to my beloved Eagles in the Fall (local stations never carry the post game interviews). Will have to see how many dB I loose with the splitter. Not sure if I'll split before or after the preamp, will test different senarios.
FYI, the HD channels OTA are usually better than cable since they have to cram and compress everything to fit into a certain bandwidth for cable.

I like Germany and the people. But this is so true. No slight intended.
