I'm thinking of building a hardware (USB TV tuner + Raspberry Pi) and software (Roku channel) solution that allows you to hook up an OTA antenna and stream it to any TV on your local network.
Right now we use our Roku box pretty heavily but have to switch to OTA to watch local stuff. Its a pain in the butt to have to switch TV inputs all the time and requires an extra remote control. An OTA Roku channel solves the problem of switching inputs and too many remotes. :)

Unless you really want to build your own, the HDHomeRun OTA box [1] will already do the above, and you simply have to plug it in to your local network.
