ok so I looked into OTA a few years back and put an antenna in my attic and it works. Gets everything except ABC which is VHF in my area. I get all the other NBC, Fox, PBS, etc... and I prefer watching NFL OTA...
so DirecTV Now is price hiking (but I'm still getting a cheaper price due to AT&T unlimited customer), so its still kinda worth keeping but has me always looking to see if alternatives can be found, wife requires Hallmark channels so this keeps me on some streaming service. DTV Now is $35 for me now and I'm grandfathered in on this package, else it goes up to $90/m!!!!! How is that saving money? I'm already $70/m 250d xfinity cable modem + $40 with tax for DTV Now... so $110/m as to I can get a 2y double play for $59.99 (so they say till they add fees/taxes/ports/etc..... ) so of course gotta look ...
but it got me tinkering with my OTA setup again....
I bought 2 antennas from Walmart and they do not get nearly the channels my current antenna gets and cost way more.
so I'm getting to my question... be patient.. [:-P>
while googling, I found this...
https://www.bestreviews.guide/hdtv-a...door-150-miles
notice how many of them all look the same with different ratings... anyone here able to put their mind to why there is such a difference?
fyi - mine is @ 10th... with 7.1 score which is pretty bad.
I'm just contemplating buying the 1st spot one and trying it... thoughts?
so my setup is
antenna in attic
cable from antenna to box in basement
out of box on port 1 into an HDHomerun Connect Quattro (so quad tuner onto network and pc set with nextpvr for dvr features then rips commercials, converts and sends to plex)
out of box on port 2 into a cable booster where all TV's come back too, thus all jacks in house are hot and active for OTA
