Local channels should be easy to get with an OTA antenna. If you live far away, you might have to put one on your roof. If you live within city limits, a simple wall-mounted, newer, "rabbit ears" style antenna should be plenty.
- bphogan 12y agoI love how history repeats. When I was a kid we had a big 50-foot antenna tower outside of my house so we could pull in stations from 90 miles away. And now we're back to talking about outdoor antennas again. :)
- Corrado 12y agoI'm thinking of building a hardware (USB TV tuner + Raspberry Pi) and software (Roku channel) solution that allows you to hook up an OTA antenna and stream it to any TV on your local network. Right now we use our Roku box pretty heavily but have to switch to OTA to watch local stuff. Its a pain in the butt to have to switch TV inputs all the time and requires an extra remote control. An OTA Roku channel solves the problem of switching inputs and too many remotes. :)
- pwg 12y agoUnless you really want to build your own, the HDHomeRun OTA box [1] will already do the above, and you simply have to plug it in to your local network. [1] http://www.hdhomerun.com/ http://www.hdhomerun.com/
