I have YoutubeTV and it works well for $65/month. Gets me local channels and unlimited DVR. Also travels with me between the Villages and up north. If you want to avoid the $65/month charge you can get something like an antenna and Tablo. The Tablo unit uses a coax cable connection to an antenna in the attic/on the roof. You download the Tablo app onto your TV/Firestick/Roku stick and go from there. You can also add an external hard drive to the Tablo unit and record programs. There are all kinds of discussions on this board about antennas in the villages and being able to pick up the signals for the Orlando stations. Depends on where you are in the Villages, but those are a couple of choices.

Official Tablo OTA DVR Site | Over The Air (OTA) DVR | Tablo

I purchased my Tablo and antenna from Best Buy. It is mounted in my house up north, not in the Villages.
