around here there is a company that rebroadcasts over the air all the major network channels out of Minneapolis/St Paul plus a couple dozen basic cable channels- the Weather Channel, History, C Span, MSNBC, Discovery, Lifetime, and a few other channels i forget about. no Disney, tho.
this is a free service, but they do accept donations to pay for everything.
they do this because this area is exactly in the middle of the no-man's land between the Fargo stations and the Minneapolis/St Paul stations. you still need to get the digital converter box to watch the channels, but it's free.
