I have a cheap antenna which appears like it can't get a good signal on my main tv, unless anyone has other tips. The tv by the front window seems to get signal, but my main tv in the living room doesn't.

Are the local channels cracking down on sharing like Netflix? I tried helping my Dad login to his cable for local channels at a relatives house and it was not allowing us to do so.

I think everyone is cracking down on sharing.

Is your current antenna one that you plug into the wall or just coax? If just coax I would look into getting a digital one. Even the cheap ones will give you a boost and might solve your issue.

I don't think Brewers/Bucks will be on Bally's for more than another season so I'm going to wait until it all shakes out. And ESPN is talking to companies (Amazon and Apple among them) about streaming their channels. In the meantime I'm enjoying not having a glut of McAfee on my screen.

That's a good deal. I wish they had Bally's. I don't like the Bally's app. Hopefully they're toast soon.
Hulu is offering three month of Hulu+ Live at $49.99 for three months.

Promo for $35 a month price locked for 3 years plus you get NFL Sunday ticket for free this year. Pretty smoking deal.

What is your typical usage?

I work exclusively from home, and my wife does two days per week. Plus streaming radio all day, then TV, kids internet for homework, Xbox...etc

Can a service like that handle all that?

Thoughts if so?

Or any streamer that has Ballys?

Directv is just too expensive.

Within a year I doubt Brewers or Bucks will be on Bally's. It will be interesting to see what the teams/leagues do. The Suns took control and are broadcasting games on local TV channels and offering fans free antennas. They will also be doing their own streaming service. The Jazz are doing the same. ESPN will be doing their own streaming service too but it looks like they are targeting 2025. I'm hanging tight with cable until everything shakes out and then figure out the best option. If games are on a streaming service I want the option of being able to tune in after the start and watch from the beginning, along with the usual pausing live action. Prime has a nice feature on Thursday nights where if you tune in late you can start from the beginning, go right to live action or you can watch the highlights so far and then go to live action
