Roku or one of several others (I use GoogleTV) and a HDTV Antenna will work fine. You won't get the hundreds of channels like you do with the providers but you will get the major networks and enough to keep you happy when you couple it with some streaming environments over your Internet connection.

I use DirecTv for only one reason, the NFL package, if it weren't for that I would be satisfied with that environment. If they raise the cost of the NFL package I'm out and will cancel DirecTv.

The HDTV antenna provides a great live picture but I can't get NBC because of my location in TV. The tower I point to is in Deland and the NBC equipment is installed at the bottom of the tower and blocked from my line of reception. If your higher up, say like in Mallory, you would probably get better reception.

More and more people will be turning to this type of set-up in the future. People who don't need 500 channels - 475 of them they don't watch anyway. People like Villagers who are too busy to watch a lot of programming. Much of what you can't view live can be obtained at a later time via streaming.

It's worth playing around with and determining if it will meet your TV needs. Good luck!

P.S. I use Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus
