Live down in Fenny. Bought a cheap indoor antenna just to see what would happen. Had to put it out the window just to get one channel of stuff I don't want to watch. I get enough from free apps, Netflix, Amazon, etc. ESPN3 and Peacock give me enough sports, I buy ESPN+ during college basketball season to watch my team. Think I'll skip the OTA antenna.

IMO, the networks are in the wrong if they say their OTA covers 60+ miles, but unless you put together huge ensembles, you have to buy cable or satellite, or pay for their streaming app. You can have your paid app for all of your extras, but the basic network TV stream on that app should be free. Doesn't even have to be local. Just the network programming. Seems the FCC could do something about that if they don't live such services as Locast.
