Having to invest time and money into the antenna is definitely what's stopped me from using OTA up to this point. Especially given that our location is between multiple broadcast points so it's not as simple as pointing an antenna in one direction, it would have to be a multi-directional antenna. Last I looked a decent one of those wasn't cheap.
- dylan604 3y agoI have one of those little table top style ones that came with a pretty long cable. It is a bit of an annoyance in that in my location, there are different places I need to place the antenna for best reception for that channel. Luckily, I only use it for sports, and I know the best location for each channel. So I just move it as needed, and then place it back behind the TV when done. I look at it like being similar to grabbing a gaming controller and putting it back on the charger when done. Fun things happen with reception though. Just this weekend, I was watching a match and everything was coming through just fine. The UPS truck pulled up to deliver a package to my house, and the whole time the truck was parked, the signal was struggling. As soon as the truck pulled away, everything was fine again. As much "fun" as all of that is, it is much cheaper than me finding a sports bar to watch a match. Besides, at the time of the morning what I'm watching is on, I really am not in the mood to go some where.
- freedomben 3y agoI'm in the same boat, and on-the-ground isn't even good enough. I'll have to mount a big antenna on top of my roof, which is a tall order. Not worth it to me so far.
- Goronmon 3y agoYup, the few more basic antennas I've tried effectively got no signal worth using on any channels.
