The best advice on this thread so far is given by JakezUT, so I'll just share what me and Shirley do. 'Bout five years (I think) back, we got fed up with both ever-increasing monthly fees first from DISH, then DirecTV - and their downright rude customer service reps. And I do mean RUDE. I got us a Channel Master CM-4221 UHF/HDTV Antenna. Plus a Motorola amplifier as we live (in KY) far from a major city or town. Plus a RCA rotor & controller to direct the antenna. For us, station access does change between summer and late fall. Maybe due to switching towers, I don't really know. We get between 33 - 36 channels, most of which we don't bother to watch. Channel reception will vary depending on where you live. I can point the antenna to receive channels from Indiana, Bowling Green, KY, Nashville, and sometimes Chicago. Asides from experimenting with the rotor I have no reason to set these far away channels. We're happy with what we have. Be sure to include a thick lightning ground wire. If an installer tells you it's unneeded, demand they install it anyway.
For streaming, we use a ROKU, though I am an Amazon Prime member, I don't bother using it for movies and such. ROKU has so many free channels, the only paid subscription we bother with is NetFlix Basic. Now, for UT games, I wait to see how many will show on HULU, an app already built into ROKU. If three or more games, I activate HULU Live TV. When the season is done, I quit the app. We save good money by not being locked in subscribers to a cable or satellite service. Plus get a strange benefit, though inconsistent and never preannounced. Newly released cinema movies show up on our Netflix Basic selections from time to time. I have no idea why except there might be a Netflix glitch or lax employee. They only stay up for between 1-3 nights then vanish. Always pop up at night, usually late. Anyway, we're now waiting for the full UT games broadcast schedule and times so we can decide when to activate HULU. OH yeah, we're grandfathered into a 35mbps plan that's no longer available for new subscribers. They've tempted us with their new 100mbps service but we ignore it. They remotely did something to mess with my modem and router to force us to change. Let's just say I messed with them too and didn't change. Don't ask, I ain't telling.
