If you're in the SF Bay Area, you will likely do well.  ;)

(note that you will still have to get past the pains of learning to
properly prime firewire, and keep it primed)

But yes, I personally get most everything except for KPIX (which is
weird, as it's in the clear via QAM).  I used to get my HBO and
showtime too, but that recently changed.  This is in San Jose.
