Otherwise I’ll just watch tv from the web…Roku/appletv.
I get 70 stations. Some are Spanish, some religious, many duplicate the cheap cable movie channels. I use a $25 yogi which came with an amplifier. I found the antenna worked much better when raised to 25 feet than it did at 20 feet. 30 feet would probably be even better. The broadcast antenna farm is in Bithlo Florida, 65 miles from the Village of Springdale. The network broadcasters upgraded their signals to UHD a couple of months ago, and signal quality for my old HD TV improved a lot.
