I do and I used mine yesterday, but I bridge that gap with an HDHomeRun instead of using my TV's native tuner. There are a lot of good, high def channels available in major metros beyond the required broadcast channel. It is useful to have access to local news now and then with the national feed right after. Likewise, most sports are still available on local broadcast (with some exceptions, like Amazon taking Thursday Night Football). Your experiences aren't everyone's.

yes that's our primary/only use case other than using it as a recepticle for casting from the eye prayer
