Cheapo RCA basic rabbit ears model.
I only use the OTA on one channel. It is the only local HD channel that isnt broadcast in HD on my Cox Digital Cable. Everything else, I just go through my cable box because it also has HD DVR in it.
Make sure that if you get a cable box or satellite for the HD, that you go through the setup on the box to allow for 720p signal. I know that my cable box was showing everything at 1080i. Well for sports and action, 720p is better and the TV is capable. Of course, the manual that came with my cable box from COX did not have any information on this. So I downloaded a full manual for that model from the maker of the box, Scientific Atlanta and went through the setup they had and now my box will show the TRUE signal that comes in. So FOX and ESPN both broadcast at 720p, so my box outputs at 720p whereas ABC is 1080i, so by box outputs at 1080i.
