We use Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime/Peacock/etc.

That pretty much allows access to a lot of choices. However I have not found a convenient way to get local network stations that carry a lot of shows we like. We DVR and watch when we want.

Has there been improvement in antenna choices?
Streaming DVR options. Other alternatives.

I know I am not alone needing some direction from those who know!

Yes I do google the info, but am looking for first hand experience here in TV.
Step 1: Go to Walmart and buy a Roku for $40. Connect it to your TV, as described in the instructions.

Step 2: Upgrade your Hulu account to "Hulu Plus". It has all the local channels you're used to with cable. It costs $70/month and includes Disney and ESPN.

Step 3: Use your Roku remote to turn on your TV. Then, press the Hulu button.

Step 4: At the top of the screen, you will see a menu selection labeled "live". Click it.

Step 5: Press the down-arrow button. The live channel guide will appear.

Step 6: Channel-surf to your hearts content.
