Look for smart phone apps like Antenna Point and NoCable to find out what’s available OTA where you live.

Not exactly. There are parts of The Villages where it works better than others but I would not use the word “most”. It also depends on your choice of antenna. I have a DB4E mounted in the attic and pull in over 50 channels from Orlando including NBC. I live between 466A and 44.

Are you using any boosters? I live south of 44 and my garage attic faces south.

Yes, I have an amplifier with the DB4E. The DB4E is mounted in the attic at the peak. My garage faces to the southwest but I don’t see that as necessarily an issue since the roof will attenuate the signal regardless of our orientation. Since you are south of 44, I believe you have the radiant barrier on the underside of your roof sheathing. That may be an issue ??

Don’t know if you are interested, but as a seasonal resident I have had YouTube TV for three years and love it. I can get my local (KC) channels while I’m in TV so can watch Chiefs and Royals games and local news shows if I want. Last year it allowed me to watch the Super Bowl parade in KC. Also, all I have to do is connect in either place, no calling and pending or anything. The YouTube channels are perfect for us.

No radiant barrier in the garage area.

Go for a streaming box. One time purchase price with no monthly fee. You get all of what you want. Also, an outside digital antenna for about 50 local channels, also free after purchase of antenna.

The new Dynalink Android TV Box is currently being sold by Walmart, and for the price, it is crazy good.

Wow, they decided to not use the roof sheathing with the radiant barrier over the garage area ? I guess it saved them a few dollars.

What's the difference between this Android box and Amazon Firestick and Roku stick? They're enabling your smart TV to play more or all the apps out there. For live TV you'll need to subscribe to youtube.tv or hula live or some other streaming service unless you're satisfied with just the local channels from your OTA antenna. I have a Roku stick but I only keep it as a backup in case my Directv were to go out. Otherwise, Roku has quite a lot of free programming, but nothing great without paying extra. I also have an antenna in the attic and have it connected to the guest BR, I pick up about 50 channels but no channel 2 unless I were to add a second antenna If I could only watch what was on local TV, I would probably sell my TV. My main go-to for watching live TV is Directv with 300 channels, been with them since 2008.

BTW. I use a roof mounted antenna and pickup 63 OTA channels. Also use Ruku for streaming on my dumb TVs. Plus I connect it all to the Sling AirTV 2 which integrates the OTA channels with my Sling channels into one guide for a near cable like environment.

We got tired of cable bills since we have 4 TVs and the monthly equipment charges were annoying. We used You Tube streaming but they raised the price so we're currently using Hulu+live. Hulu just announced that they were raising their prices. Slowly the streaming services are turning into cable at least with their cost. We considered Spectrum streaming but they don't have the golf channel. We'll probably dump the new charge Hulu if we find a cheaper replacement.

Good luck in your search. The rates keep going up due to increases that Hulu and the like have to pay for the feeds. I found that I wasn’t watching as much live tv anymore so now only use Hulu no ads, Amazon Prime, CBS All Access and recently added the Disney + bundle to my Hulu account. That gives me Hulu, Disney, and ESPN for $19 a month.

We went to you tube tv and we are very happy ... we have 80 from century link

I got a rotating over the air TV Antenna at market of Marion.
$300 for the antenna and to have it installed. I’m loving it so far.
I get 76 channels. No monthly fees or expenses.

We looked at supposetv which was recommended on this forum and ended up with Xfinity, which provides local channels, then added Sling TV Blue with the Blue Sports and News option so we can get the Golf Channel. If it was not for the Golf Channel we may have gone another way. We are also here for only the winter six months, so we wanted to be able to suspend the services without penalty or a two year contract. Good luck.
