I live about 60 miles from the nearest TV broadcast antenna and I'm tucked into a canyon and my antenna is on my patio roof and is pointed at my neighbor's fig tree. I get about 100 Digital broadcast stations with a $50 antenna.
I have Amazon Prime (I got that for the free shipping), Netflix and Hulu. Roku has about 1000 channels of free stuff. Tubi TV on Roku has all kinds of free movies and documentaries. I can also watch You Tube on my Roku.
Haven't missed my cable since I cut it. Reduced my entertainment bill by about $100 a month. I didn't watch most of the crap on Cable anyway. If there is a show that I could only get on Cable, I just wait until it is on Netflix or Hulu.
And . . . there are also books to read.
we have a newer tv, sure it has a built I roku...not sure how to use it...
we have amazon prime but don't see much on except movies and not always that many...
I'm sure we're not seeing all that is available...
Can you post the brand and model of antennae you have?
I have a similar setup to yours.
However, one thing I’ve noticed, on Netflix and Amazon Prime developed content...
A drift Leftward. More shows that give a leftist twist to everything. Some are getting as bad as anything on ABC/NBC/CBS.
I wish I could find a list of the most leftwing political shows made by Netflix/Amazon Prime so I could block them somehow.
