Default Ota tv @ tv

Always been curious about over-the-air TV reception @ TV. Hooked up a Radio Shack Yagi UHF antenna (#15-280) with Channel Master 7777 amplifier. Propped it up in a chair and pointed 140 deg true and pulled in ~35 Orlando area stations. All the majors and a bunch of minors. Streaming Netflix via a WII and anything else via a PC. Who needs Comcast cable?

Located in Caroline Village. The antenna only received stations that broadcast over the air not cable channels although you might be able to stream content from Food Channel, Golf Channel, etc., via a computer to your TV.
