Cutting the cable

[Grieve]

So I'm trying to cut off the money spigot to those greedy buggers at the cable/satellite companies. As I see it, there are two main battles to fight:

1) Technical (I want TV, but I don't want to pay for it, or at least not as much, and I want to do it legally)

2) Political (convince the highly skeptical wife and rugrats)

This weekend I got the new Apple TV, which I love, but it's still very limited in TV channels (Fox, BBC and ABC only) Plus I don't want to pay for all the ungodly number of shows my wife watches, even at 99c a pop.

I can probably fix the cost problem by getting free over the air TV, but we live out in the boonies, and I can't get a single digial channel through my little plug in antenna.

I was thinking of picking one of these up:

Anyone tried this (or something similar)? Does it work well? Can you stick it in the attic instead of the roof? (me clamoring around on the roof probably wouldn't end well, and the neighbors probably wouldn't be too impressed by one of these up there) Most importantly, how easy is it to route the one output from this to a bazillion (well, at least 10) cable outlets in the house? Guess I'd need to pick up a TIVO box to replace the DirecTv DVR as well...
