Well - I use an antenna and I change the channel.
I think you are mistaken, if you use an antenna, you had to buy a new tv - or at least a converter box, because tv channels are no longer broadcast in analog - at least in the U.S.
So, yeah, I bought a new TV and I use antenna, and why not, in digital you get crystal clear reception in HD - and for free.
I supplement that with Netflix - because I like movies and shows on demand - but yeah - not sure why the assumption about antenna users not buying tv's.
I definately buy new tv's because my antenna usage is just to pick up the high quality free stuff - I also purchase, I admit still DVD, not blu-ray, new movies and enjoy watching paid content as well.
I may switch to blu-ray or may just do Apple tv - don't know yet, the thing about blu-ray is I'm into a lot of foreign language movies that just haven't come out on blu-ray.
