So will an HDTV antenna work in The Villages to pick up the network and PBS channels from Orlando?

We're paying for Comcast low-level service and also have ROKU and Netflix streaming. My son gave it to us when I complained that our cable TV/Internet bill was higher than the electric bill. Roku is great for the ability to watch movies without commercials but, in my opinion, Netflix streaming's inventory of movies is disappointing. Amazon Prime may be a better alternative.

Nevertheless, we are thinking of doing away with Comcast TV because, as jerseyvillager says, why pay for channels that we don't watch anyway. The issue with Roku is that the nearest thing to live news that I've found is Al Jazeera. Jeez!
