dewilson 58's list of channels is perfect.

I converted last year and get all of his list perfectly clear. I tried several antennas and gave up on the store bought antennas. I found an engineering company in Kentucky and you can google Free Signal TV to see their antenna and info. Also you can search on YouTube to watch an install. The antenna was about twice as much as Best Buy antennas. It cost $170, but is far superior to the store bought ones. I mounted mine inside of my attic and pointed it ESE 120 degrees towards Orlando. It is excellent. I like it so much, I converted my home in NY. I only pay for internet here in Florida.

I use the TV input source for over the air digital channels (all major ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX networks) and I use Roku navigation to watch Playstation Vue for all the normal cable channels that I used to watch (like Cable News channels, ESPN, other popular cable shows). I also went to Best Buy and bought universal remotes for each TV that had buttons just for TV channel navigation, and color coded buttons just for Roku navigation for watching the cable shows streamed over the Internet to your TV.

I now pay $50 for Internet and $35 for Streaming PlayStation Vue cable shows over the Internet to the TV.

It took my wife about 1 week to get used to switching between TV channels and over to Roku and PlayStation Vue for all other cable programs. We are very happy.

Best of all, I never have to talk to a cable company again. If I don't want to stream PlayStation Vue content anymore, I just go to my online account and turn it off. No contracts and no waiting on the phone for an hour with anyone. Like an anchor off my back.
