I tried using a ChannelMaster Flatenna in the window and was only able to get 13 channels. Would adding an amplifier or using a different amplified antenna help? I can't find the ChannelMaster MicroAmp (what comes with the Flatenna+) in stock anywhere.

All plans are ad-free, but it's just documentaries (so you may want to supplement that with something else). I can't find any info on when this expires (if someone sees it, please chime in). Also not sure if this is eligible on current subs, or previous subs (so you used to sub to them, but have been unsubscribed).

Standard annual is $24/yr instead of $40/yr - Includes just Curiosity Stream itself

Smart Bundle annual is $42/yr instead of $70/yr - In addition to CS itself, also includes...

Tastemade, Kidstream, Curiosity University, and SOMM TV

... if folks have any experience with any of these, I'd like to know!

Decided to truly cut the cord. I had DirecTV stream from day 1 and eventually switched to Hulu Live when DTV got expensive and dropped channels.

Now, I just want an antenna for live NFL, NCAAF, and golf. Everything else we watch is a show on a streaming service or NHL on ESPN +.

Needs/Wants:

- Connect the Antenna to a WiFi streaming box so it connects to AppleTV and iOS devises. For a million little reasons I don’t want to connect a Coaxial to my TV or need to deal with switching inputs

- Ability to pause a game

- DVR is nice to have, but not required.

- ASTC 3.0

Bought HD HomeRun 4K and Tablo 4th gen. Each one of those is close, but not quite the perfect system for me. I can return both devices, so trying to see if there is something better available.

Is there any other competitive product I am missing which accomplishes all my wants?

HDHR 4K Flaws:

-can’t decode ASTC 3.0, but supposed to be compatible

-Expensive compared to Tablo, not sure if I could downgrade to the FlexDuo if I have to accept no ASTC 3.0

- Not drawing as many channels as the Tablo, understand I can play with Antenna’s / locations to get this Fixed. Only care about ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox. Not currently getting Fox on HDHR, but getting everything on Tablo

Tablo Flaws:

- The guide does not have the right channel identification tied to the right station, so I I have to manually figure out what game is on what channel number. Doable, but just janky

- Not even ASTC 3.0 compatible

I've got this idea for a good background noise channel. Using content that's probably available for cheap or really cheap. Just wondering who would be a good place in the process to share the idea to see if such a thing might already be in the works, or whatever?

Looking for an antenna to catch local sports and I don't want a big flat panel in the window (neither does my wife). Are there any good stick antennas? I checked rabbit ears.info and seems I have some good signal where I live.

TIA

I'm still trying to get my head around all of this ATSC3 stuff so hopefully I'm asking the right question. If I read correctly, there's no reason for me to upgrade my HDHomeRun Quatro to a Flex 4k if we use Plex exclusively, right?

I think I read something about an audio codec incompatibility with the ATSC3 OTA channels w/Plex specifically means no audio on ATSC3 broadcasts so I might as well stay with the hardware I have now and wait for some sort update on the audio front, right?

I was given a decent monitor to use as a tv. I tried using an HDMI cable (and extender, and longer cable, and adaptor) to my phone or computer, thinking I could just stream that way. But it comes up with an error about HDCP (something to do with sending copyrighted material through an HDMI cable). So that didn't work.

A friend told me to look at Chromecast but idk if that will bypass the HDCP issue. An article online said it might still give the same error. Also, idk if Chromecast is the best option, and am curious about Roku and others. I'm also in Canada if that matters.

But I just want something simple. I don't watch a lot of tv, so simple and cheap. But something that works with a monitor.

(I'm also confused why my office setup of using a monitor with my laptop streams just fine.)

Been researching a little - have not come across what I need just yet.

I'm going to have a Mac Mini available this week - I'm looking for options of using it as a streaming device. I'm using an Andriod 12 device right now - like it but there's another TV that needs streaming.

I'm intending on Philo and leveraging my AirTV box (migrating off Sling). Cheap is good in this case - prefer freeware apps.

Wondering what my options are here? It's overkill I know but it is here and available for my use. As always - Thanks in advance.

Recently my spectrum internet was failing. The tech came out and determined all of the lines, including the TV lines were falling as well. Rather than drill 4 new holes in my homes exterior i opted to give him the dvr boxes to take with him. I already have a roku in every room anyhow. My wife works from home, we have the gig plan and need the reliability of cable. Also she enjoys having the local spectrum channel for news. So I'm keeping spectrum in that capacity. I currently subscribe to Spectrum TV, Netflix, Max, Prime Video, Disney +,and Peacock. My question is what is my best option to save some money and somehow add dvr to this equation I have now. Legally of course.

So I bought this U7N and while the tuner pulls in my expected channels (and a few others) the info is not shown or unreliable when I used the guide. I found that if I stop the scan before the "cable channels" (we dumped cable years ago) are scanned, the guide works reliable. This is Goog TV with Nextgen TV for OTA. Comments appreciated.

My sling Blue is 45 dollars a month and rising to 51 dollars soon... however, by everything I can see online, people are paying 40 dollars a month rising to 46 dollars a month. Anyone know the reason for this discrepancy?

I currently live in a rented house with no access to the roof or attic (since it is not my house), so i won't be able to put the antenna very high. I just want to be able to get the big channels. What are my options?

I'm completely new to the "smart" TV world. For the last 10 years, I've only been streaming my shows on my laptop. So, I didn't even know what's difference between Roku, Fire, Google TV, Apple TV etc...

Now I have a TV, I am looking into the different streaming devices, and still not quite clear about the benefits of buying a separate streaming device.

My TV came bundled with the Homatics R 4K dongle, which uses Android TV OS (version 11), and thus uses my Google account, and supports casting out of the box. All cool features for me, since my personal laptop is Windows and phone is Android. But when I was installing the different streaming apps on it - Max, Paramount, Peacock, Hulu, Disney - I saw ALL of them have very bad rating of 1.5 - 2.5 etc. So... are Android TV OS version of the streaming apps are of poorer quality than their Roku / Fire TV counterparts?

And back to my original question - should I buy any other other mainstream streaming devices like Roku, Fire, Google TV Streamer etc and if yes, what benefit will they provide that this generic Homatics device doesn't?

So I am helping my grandma get a cheaper deal. All she wants is fox news. Thats all she watches. Save the comments, I just need help finding the cheapest plan for her. Cause we wanted to look into hulu live tv or whatever but we have to consider having Fox News. Anybody know if its cheaper to have live tv like verizon, or is there another deal we can find on a streaming service? I have been researching but its so hard to look into everything out there.

So does anyone get a bright red tint on commercials when watching 4K games? The game looks fine but for some reason the commercials look bad. I switched to a non 4K game and the commercials look fine.

I am new to OTA. Just wondering whether I should get the bundled antenna from Tablo or Tablo and antenna unbundled. A am about 26 miles out:

https://www.channelmaster.com/pages/tv-antenna-map-palatine-il-60067

I can't get any answers through their support page. I want to lock in that price before it jumps to about $169 or so.

Peacock has games that are broadcast on NBC
Paramount+ has games that are broadcast on CBS
ESPN+ has games that are broadcast on ABC
Max even has games that are on TBS and TNT

Is there an app that does the same think with games on Fox/FS1? I can't think of one off the top of my head.

and to be clear, I'm not talking Sling/Fubo/YouTubeTV or any of those other cable tv simulators- I mean a stand-alone app.

I’m looking for recommendations for an attic TV antenna that will reliably pick up PBS, ABC, CBS, and NBC in my area. Here’s a link to my signal strength and location details:

Any advice on specific models or setup tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Unless I'm imagining it watching Hulu through the Disney+ app has better quality picture than using the Hulu app. Also the Hulu app is garbage, constantly crashing on Roku and needing to log in again frequently. So I figured I'd just watch all my Hulu stuff through Disney. But I'm wondering if the entire Hulu library may not be available through Disney. Modern Family is on Hulu, but a search on Disney will not bring the show up. I have regular Hulu and Disney+ not the full Hulu cable-like service.

For those in the Chicago area who watch sports how do you do it? Here's my dilemma: I love the Blackhawks but they can only be seen on CHSN (Chicago Sports Network) which I believe is only available on Fubo.

My issue is that my family members like the HGTV and Discovery channels which ARE NOT available on Fubo. I currently have Hulu Live ($89/mo) package but want to be able to watch my Blackhawks without adding FUBO for another $95/mo and basically double dipping on a bunch of channels.

Any easy way to solve this?

Here is my idea to use a preexisting ONN. Brand attenna it works good but it can be better I was thinking of placing copper tape underneath it or above it what would make it better??? Basically where the lines are I would place the tape give me ideas!!!

Update: had to create new email account to get this deal. No further responses necessary! Thanks

I’m in the US. I’m a former full-fare subscriber, cancelled about three weeks ago. When I click on the Black Friday deal it’s charging me $9.99 for month. When I tried on a different browser it said I am “ineligible” for discounts.

Anyone else?

I guess I can try an alternate email but that’s annoying. I’m really curious why it isn’t working for me.
