Depends, are you going to have HD or just SD? And it also depends on size, you can get a good 26" HDTV in that price range. I think the Samsung 26" HDTV is around $500-600. But if you arent' going to get HD don't waste the money and just get a tube TV.

If you are getting HD, don't rule out a tube if you can find a larger one and don't mind the size they take up. They still have the best picture quality.

I have a good 26" I'll sell. Has less than 100 hours of use, built in HD tuner so you can already get the locals in HD.

If the TV already has a built in HD tuner, to get the locals in HD you need an over the air HD antenna, is that correct? I have never fooled around with the over the air antenna's because I didn't know if you could get them over the mountain or if the signal would be strong enough.

Not through Comcast. Just do a digital search in the setup menu and it found them there after channel 70 start with channel 73-2 thru 80 something, there's 10 of them. 2 are is the doppler radar for channel 11 and a PP movie preview channel, which suck, but you get about 50 music channels too.
