OTA stands for Over-the-air , basically it's antenna that receives broadcast channels. I have one in my attic and I can get a lot channels, but not channel 2. I don't use the antenna, I installed the antenna because it was only $27 on Amazon and wanted to have TV in a guest bedroom, I have Directv for 12 years on my main two TVs.

Antenna discussions and what you can get, do you need 2 antennas, where do you put the antenna, do have a barrier inside the roof, all those questions you can forget about. I put this on another thread, but I guess some of you didn't see it, or didn't read it.

Locast is an app that will give you all the local channels in HD. I have it and used it last month when Directv had a dispute with our local ABC affiliate and we didn't get channel 9 for two weeks. I used it to watch Jeopardy.

I have a ROKU stick plugged into the back of my TV I bought in December at Best Buy for $27, and I connected to the Locast app. They will ask for a $5 a month donation or $60 a year. They are a non-profit to bring viewers the local TV broadcast channels. If you don't pay the donation, you will see a commercial every 15 minutes, that's it.

I just looked at my on-screen guide and these are channels I get:

I get in HD the Orlando channels 2, 2.2, 6, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 8, 8.2, 9, 9.2, 10, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 15.2, 15.3, 18, 18.2, 18.3, 24.2, 24.3, 24.5, 26, 26.2, 26.3, 26.4, 26.5, 27, 27.4, 31, 31.3, 31.4, 35, 35.2, 43, 42.2, 43.3, 43.4, 45, 52, 52.3, 52.4, 52.5, 55.2, 55.3, 55.4, 55.6, 55.7, 55.8. 55.9, 55.11, 56, 55.2, 55.3, 55.5, 55.6, 65, 65.2, 65.3, 65.4, 68, 68.2, 68.3, 68.4

YouTube TV. Has it all.

Including, a really poorly designed user interface. It's a royal pain to have to search for recorded programs by names to playback the recorded programs. It seems like it would take very little effort on YouTube TV's part to simply add a recorded programs menu, where you could select the recorded programs to playback. The "On Demand" programs doesn't allow you to fast forward through commercials, which is annoying. It would be much better if we could Al La Carte channels. We probably only watch less than 10 channels. It's annoying to pay for sports channels, when we never what sports the channels. We still have YouTube TV, even after the cost keeps going up. We haven't switched yet.

If you have internet go to: ustvgo.tv. There is a whole list of sites to go to. All are free but for some you need to have their VPN which is about $4 - $5 per month.

I have All Access TV. I purchased this at Marion Market about 2 yrs ago now. With All Access, you can get any channel that you want, I mean any channel, I get U-Tube, netflix,amazon, NFL, NHL, NBA, NCAA, Golf, all baseball,HBO,Cinemax, I mean anything you want to watch, all around the world. The only country's I kept is Canada, Great Britian, and Ireland. They have this perfected so good now, I may get 2-3 bufferings a day, for maybe 3-5 seconds. I pay $45.00 per month, plus internet. I was paying $235.00 a month, now down to $ 90.00 a month, Internet, and TV. We go to MN in the summer for a few months, we take our 2 boxes with us, order internet, and we are set up in MN in 5 minutes or less. If you need more info, you can call me at 612-245-6880 Vern

I use spectrum for 49.99 a month which includes taxes modum and router. It’s a great deal and it works great. So satisfied with their internet. I stream well. No buffering

The fellow back on post #31 is selling that as well. When I go Facebook Villages site there are 5 people selling those, the Market of Marion, even on Amazon who makes and sells the legal Firestick will have those for sale by a third party. It's a gray area, you're legal to view as long as you don't download any material, what's the definition of download, is that to view, the NFL might have something to say about that.

So the FCC has busted a few sellers in the past few months, but chances you as a homowner will probably not get busted. My neighbor who's had his jail-break Firestick for a couple of years, he has letters all the time from Comcast Xfinity Internet warning him to stay off those sites, he just throws them away and keeps watching.

I don't know, maybe I don't like breaking the law. If you're really sharp, you can watch videos on youtube and make your own jail-break Firestick. However, if I had one, I wouldn't broadcast it too far.

This whole subject was discussed in December.
