What you lose in the ability to DVR network programming. Use of an antenna means you can't time shift which is the whole reason why DVR's became popular in the first place. You can always hook up your old VCR from the 80's....

I'm thinking the Telemundo issue may be a shift to carrying local Telemundo station in those markets rather than a national channel. Or that channel could have been the local channel in that market and they're dropping it.
