I stream tv using YouTube TV; local Orlando stations are included.

TV Antenna
I use an Omni mounted on the roof at the highest peak. It is the round type that looks like a flying saucer. Orlando and Tampa are no problem. Ocala and Gainesville are spotty due to weather conditions. Cost was around $80.

The changing of WESH to a UHF signal has caused a little havoc with my reception of a few other Orlando stations like WKMG and WOFL. I'm hoping a signal booster or some fiddling on the antenna direction will fix the problem,

Tv antenna reception available
Slightly off the subject, but what is the policy on outside ham radio antennas in TV?

On the side of our house, about 5-6 feet above the gutter.

I think this depends a LOT on which CDD you are in, I have seen 1 or 2 in the historic area that almost look like flag poles, but you can see the loading coils. I have not seen any horizontal wire types, yagi or beam antennas. Please contact ARC (community standards) and ask them for your specific location.

Why doesn't TV have it own antenna
Is there a reason (now that we are city with a lot of people) TV doesn't put up a repeater tower to grab Orlando signals ??

Can you get that on your TV or just on a computer?

Some smart TV's have the app.

If you have a smart tv you can download the locast app. It's also available on Roku and Firestick. Locast is free but there are ads. You can pay $5.50/month to remove the ads and help support them.
The ads don't run when it's usually a commercial during a show or sporting event. They can pop up any time, like during sudden death overtime in a stanley cup playoff game. I watch the locals using Youtube TV to avoid that scenario. |

I'm late to the party but I have a RCA yagi mounted in my attic with a ChannelMaster amp and receive 74 channels. Ed Sullivan never looked better!
