Hi Lynn, Xfinity and Spectrum both have Streaming apps that you can use for free with your paid subscription service. As an example, I use XFinity and I have 6 TVs in my home. I only have two cable boxes. The rest use the Xfinity stream beta app on Roku. I can watch live TV, recorded programs, on demand, just like I had a cable box except they don't cost me $10 per month per TV. The Xfinity stream beta app is only available on Roku and a few new Sony Android TVs.

Antenna was worthless for me.
We just moved into Buttonwood and I purchased a G.E. power amplified, HD antenna in an attempt to "cut the cable." I planned on the antenna, advertising a 50 mile radius of reception, and Roku to get me everything needed. After multiple channel scans, the antenna proved worthless. I called G.E. for help. They checked their tower locator and told me there were no towers within those 50 miles. I returned the antenna. A larger, attic or roof mounted antenna may be somewhat better but it's not worth my time or effort. Roku is working great!

Have you had the same experience when doing attic installations south of 466A? I wonder if 2 of the 4 antennas of my Db8e pointed towards Ocala/Gainesville would be helpful? (2 pointed to Orlando, 2 pointed to Ocala/Gainsville) |

If your attic has Aluminum Reflective insulation your antenna may not work as well

I would think outside antennas wouldn't be allowed.

Tom Grooms at TheVillagesAV.com installed my antenna. It works great but we have recently started streaming YouTubeTV, because it offers several stations that aren't available via an antenna, so the antenna doesn't get much use anymore.

Correction
Not quite true. I get quite severe 'pixilation' if that's the word on weaker stations.

There is no need to nitpick. If you are getting pixilation you aren't pulling in the station and it is not watchable. It is not like the old "analog" days when you could be watching a station just fine but it could be of generally poor quality.

FCC rules override any and all HOA or equal (in our case covenants), outside antennas are allowed. i have personally called Community standards about this.

Antennae
We are in Hadley and get 70 channels . Tom from The Villages AV installed the digital antennae in our attic.

Everyone wanting to put up an outside antenna, remember we live in the lightning capital of the US.

How about a HAM Radio antenna. An old hobbie I used to do that I now have time for.

A properly installed outside antenna will be grounded.
