Default Locast

IMHO Locast is the best free tv service since over the air channels became available and that started before I was born. You got all your local tv channels that you would normally get with a tv antenna if we were closer to Orlando. They do interrupt the show every 15 minutes to ask for a $5 donation.If you send them a donation they use that money to expand their service to new markets where they have not served yet and then they don't ask again and then they don't interrupt you programming anymore with their plea for donations. If you can't afford the $5 and can live with a few more commercials it is free.

Locast is just a great service for those who don't need HBO or other add on services.

If you subscribe to Comcast / Xfinity they charge you an extra $8 a month for local channels that you will not use when you go away for extended periods of time.There should be a law against this type of theft.

The major cable companies with all their money are very happy that they are winning the battle against the small guys and the consumer.
