Hopefully you are eligible for the free trial periods, so you can try out each service in turn. Not that that’s a big deal: their antenna is probably no better than something you could improvise for a couple bucks, using wire or a metal coat hanger. They also have obscure rules – e,g, for some reason I never figured out, I’m not eligible to receive Sling’s free antenna. Further, some of them, including, last I knew, Sling and AT&T, and maybe some others, don’t really deliver the local channels – they send you a very cheap small indoor antenna, which doesn’t get very good reception unless you have a good line of sight to the transmitter towers, and live fairly close to them. For now they appear to a non-expert like me to be legit, and the court, perhaps recognizing this, is provisionally allowing them to continue, if I understand correctly.)Īnd, if you do mean those OTA networks, many of the services will not deliver all the local channels you might be interested in, despite what the chart says, because they each define “local” in a different way. If the networks win, Locast will probably die. ![]() (NB: Some of the networks are suing Locast. I won’t claim their service is completely reliable, or is always of the best quality, but they are free. If you don’t, you might look at, provided you live in one of the areas they cover. ![]() Do you just mean the local broadcast (OTA=”over the air”) networks? If so, in most respects the best option is an antenna – provided you get good reception of all the channels you want.
