Indoor HDTV Antenna

I'm in South Florida, which is relatively flat and I am not too far from the transmitting stations for my local channels. I subscribe to DirecTV, and naturally skeptical of a company that makes one letter in their name do double duty. More skeptical am I that I am being charged monthly for local channels along with the dish bundle.
My home has a very high ceiling in the main portion. Would an indoor HD antenna work well enough on these local channels. Then I can tell DirecTV to take their local channel fee and shove it.

My Indoor HDTV Antenna works on all HDTV over the air channels - Elizabeth 23:14:24 04/23/10 (0)
It is a common $30 antenna. The double diamond shaped on (major brand?)
It took awhile to find the right place near the window, where it will always pull in every station all the time. but it works fine. I live in a metro area about 5 to 10 miles from most of the transmitters.
I've never met an indoor antenna that works - Jazz Inmate 15:51:43 04/18/10 (0)
I didn't get sufficient reception for HD digital broadcasts until I installed a big roof antenna. I live in a flat area too.

The answer is it depends. With flight geography and close proximity it sounds like an indoor antenna will work. I've had good success with them.
You simply need to try one and decide for yourself.
