Depends on where you are and how strong the signals are. Use tvfool.com to check your signal and it will recommend a type of antenna. If you only need an indoor antenna a lot of people like the Mohu Leaf products. I'm a bit far aways so I went with the best roof mount, Winegard HD8200. 31 minutes ago, cubd8 said: thanks, does this give yo hbo for free? what shows are do you get with it?

tonydead 7,546 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Legality of the 5 choices above: 1- Illegal. By definition a monopoly is when a company has exclusive control over a good or service in a particular market. In North America, Directv is the only choice for NFL Sunday Ticket. 2- Perfectly legal as far as I can tell. 3- I'm sure it violates some of the terms and agreements, but, see #1. 4- I don't think there is anything illegal about doing it this way. The NFL still gets their cut and they accept your credit card that has a US address attached to it. I think the NFL is happy to have this loophole in the contract they have with Directv. 5- 50-50. To date it is not illegal to watch a stream and no case law exists where anyone has ever been prosecuted. There is little doubt, however, that the websites that broadcast the streams are illegal.

pollardsvision 3,022 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Man the streaming world has changed so much over the last couple of years. I'd been using Sling and OTA antennas for the last 6 years. Been pretty happy with it, so I ignored the landscape over the last few years, but Sling raised it's price, and the local CBS tower is being rebuilt and acting up (right at the start of football season). I think I'd be plenty happy with any of the major streamers, but went with YouTubeTV. So awesome. Heck I really didn't even know that locals had become the norm on the major streamers. And it took about 3 clicks to set up the unlimited DVR to record all the NFL and sports I may want watch (I haven't had any DVR at all in 6 years). But the very best part of streaming services.......after 6 years, it took less than 5 minutes to cancel Sling. For the rest of my life, I'm going to everything I can to avoid any arrangement that requires talking to a human being to get out of. I remember the days of dealing with DirecTV and cable companies trying end or adjust contracts. So miserable. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
