No Cable TV?

I am interested in dumping my cable TV and just keeping internet. I’d like to buy a streaming device or higher end blu-ray player with streaming capability. Right now it seems to make sense to buy a mid-level Roku and augment it with an antenna for local TV. I’ll post some links below about the products I’m thinking about. Anyone have experience or recommendations?

I'm looking at the mid-level roku. http://www.roku.com/roku-products#2

It would be nice to have an internal antenna, so I don't have to mount it outside, but I'm not sure if they work well.http://www.amazon.com/RCA-ANT1650-Digital-Amplified-Antenna/dp/B0027FGW3K/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1305406281&sr=1-1

If I did a higher end blu-ray, I'd look at something like this:http://www.amazon.com/LG-BD570-Network-Blu-ray-Player/dp/B0036WT1RW/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1305405905&sr=1-2
