I think that's the first mention of over the air tv in this thread. The new digital standard OTA (Remember when everyone was scrambling to get the decoder boxes?) was supposed to provide all sorts of channels between the channels and really disrupt the industry. However, I haven't heard anybody raving about it.Overall, the combination of those, and over the air tv, it's not too bad.
I will be moving to the country but unfortunately will have to pay for satellite internet. Wife works from home. Any recommendations?
I’m going to try my best to keep tv out of the home. I got my property to work and live in a small population. My son has more fun in country. Kids get cooped up too much in the city.

Has anybody here really explored the OTA options and what do you think? For example, Amazon came out with their OTA DVR a while back and it has a few competitors from Tivo and others. Anybody have experience with one of those?
Good to know. Hopefully It doesn’t cost too much.My only experience so far is with the HughesNet satellite internet. It's not perfect, but overall, we are happy with the service, and the savings over the DSL we did have. Like satellite TV, if it's raining really hard, or heavy cloud cover, you can lose the satellite signal. Depending upon the package, depends on how much bandwidth you can use a month. When it get low, it will buffer quite a bit on watching videos, or streaming services on TV. Internet, it doesn't seem to nother too much. It slows down a bit, but is still useable.

There might be fixed wireless in the area. You can try to look it up here: https://broadbandnow.com/TexasI will be moving to the country but unfortunately will have to pay for satellite internet. Wife works from home. Any recommendations?
I like the sub-channels better than the main ones. Create for PBS has lots of good programming. MeTV is great for a Hogan's Heros fix. I forget the name of the channel, but there's one that shows lots of Modern Marvels. For awhile Laff was showing Night Court and Married With Children, but now they've switched to Home ImprovementHas anybody here really explored the OTA options and what do you think?

Amazon has some Brit shows. I've watched the entire series of Death in Paradise.
I scanned for broadcast channels with a new outdoor antenna, I'm in the Houston area. The TV locked on to 99 channels. I get Buzzer(old game shows) METV, Comet, Grit(old westerns) and more of the junk cable channels. Too many home shopping channels to count. Vietnam programming and the like( meaning Spanish). Lots of Christian stuff. And a boatload of channels that transmit a carrier signal but have no actual programming. I watch Movies Channel often and one called Quest which is old Discovery shows. The outside antenna is a must for as far out as I seem to be (Crosby eastern edge of Harris county) Of course I get the big broadcast channels that offer nothing. Of the streaming stuff I like Hulu some and Amazon video a lotI think that's the first mention of over the air tv in this thread.
