Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
I have a Philips amplified indoor UHF/VHF antenna. I live 12 to 20 miles from most of the stations except for Fox which is a few miles down the road. After a few months of adjusting the atenna (primarily finding the right location for the rabbit ears) I can tune any station in about 30 seconds by slightly adjusting the position of the faceplate. CBS is the only station that gives me any trouble.
One problem I have is that I live next to a train track and the trains would always interrupt my signal. Every night at 8:20 and 9:20 I would get a pair of trains and have to switch back to the SD broadcast until they were gone.
However, I will finally have the option of digital cable from the town I live in starting next week. I'm already on the list to schedule my installation.
I would definately recommend that people give OTA HDTV a try before signing up for cable service. Given the train tracks outside, the difficulty getting CBS, and my desire to get Discovery and ESPN in HD, I am getting digital cable.
