TV antennas are making a comeback in the age of digital streaming


Recommended Posts

All I've tried is the indoor $50 antennas and I don't get squat.

We have just an antenna in Maine. The choices are very slim. But we don't go there to watch tv.

I didn't know that you had a place in Maine. Way up north?

Nice! I have a buddy from the sled forums that lives on a pond / lake in Barnstead. I'm not sure which one though. We always met at Canoe King in Tamworth when we went riding. I think we did 3 different May 1st rides in northern NH together.

Was just talking about this with a coworker yesterday. 

Nice thing is that you can get awesome picture nowadays with an antenna. 

Isn't it either a good picture or nothing at all? It's not like the old days of trying to dial in the snowy picture with the rotor dial. Shit,  @SSFB you are probably to young to remember rotor on antennas?

Yeah, that's the thing.....other than the networks, there is not much for good channels available OTA. 

Alot of people get a digital antenna and also subscribe to Hulu Live or some other streaming service and stream it via an Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, etc. :bc:

You didn't miss much :lol:

I could probably pickup a few Canadian channels as I'm only about 40 miles from Sherbrooke, but who gives a fuck about french channels :dunno:
