As I stated before you can use a HD converter box ($50) at best buy and watch all the "over the air" content for FREE like the Simpsons. It's BASIC cable. ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS etc. You will also see all your NFL games broadcast live. There is NO NFL package available except with satellite TV. It cost a fortune. So there is NO difference for watching sports as you do now if you made the switch to IPTV. You use the HD converter box for the Basic over the air channels and the set top box for thousands of other viewing choices.
