It's my understanding that Analog OTA is supposed to have been discontinued, except for limited, low-power applications. I don't even have an antenna anymore to check. Are there still any NTSC TV broadcasts?

Have you had any success using any of these lower-cost netbooks with USB tuners? I know that just trying to watch HD video streams on my Atom-based EEE-pc can often be unsatisfactory.
