I don't use the antenna, I installed the antenna because it was only $27 on Amazon and wanted to have TV in a guest bedroom, I have Directv for 12 years on my main two TVs.
Antenna discussions and what you can get, do you need 2 antennas, where do you put the antenna, do have a barrier inside the roof, all those questions you can forget about. I put this on another thread, but I guess some of you didn't see it, or didn't read it.
Locast is an app that will give you all the local channels in HD. I have it and used it last month when Directv had a dispute with our local ABC affiliate and we didn't get channel 9 for two weeks. I used it to watch Jeopardy.
I have a ROKU stick plugged into the back of my TV I bought in December at Best Buy for $27, and I connected to the Locast app. They will ask for a $5 a month donation or $60 a year. They are a non-profit to bring viewers the local TV broadcast channels. If you don't pay the donation, you will see a commercial every 15 minutes, that's it.
I just looked at my on-screen guide and these are channels I get:
I get in HD the Orlando channels 2, 2.2, 6, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 8, 8.2, 9, 9.2, 10, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 15.2, 15.3, 18, 18.2, 18.3, 24.2, 24.3, 24.5, 26, 26.2, 26.3, 26.4, 26.5, 27, 27.4, 31, 31.3, 31.4, 35, 35.2, 43, 42.2, 43.3, 43.4, 45, 52, 52.3, 52.4, 52.5, 55.2, 55.3, 55.4, 55.6, 55.7, 55.8. 55.9, 55.11, 56, 55.2, 55.3, 55.5, 55.6, 65, 65.2, 65.3, 65.4, 68, 68.2, 68.3, 68.4
