Netflix through internet and small HD antenna (that we barely use) that a friend gave us when he moved.
We don't have much time to watch TV, and with Netflix we control what the kids watch.

No cable
No satellite
No antenna
I get by with the net and Amazon Prime for entertainment. I have exactly the same

with a good antenna, I can pick up about 25 channels in HD - most of them are unwatchable due to their content - music, shopping, etc but of course you get the 4 networks, plus PBS, a local weather channel and maybe some local TV station that shows old shows and movies.
KFWA and others, Any recommendations for a "good antenna"? I need to get one for the wife at her place. We don't have cable or satellite any more, she's been using the Netflix streaming option for most of her needs and is on a free tryout from Hulu right now. She likes not having a cable or satellite bill but misses some shows on "regular" TV. If no recommendations, which ones to avoid. Thanks, Geno PS , I get my hockey games online now!

GE makes a decent indoor antenna. It is not amplified, but it works very well. Cost about $20
Sling TV is also a good deal. It runs $20 a month, but gives you a ton of stuff you could only get on cable or satellite before. It's in real time, so it's like watching regular TV. Commercials and all.

Thanks M,
Not sure if we'll need amplification type as she is in/near a large metro (Ptlnd OR) area.
I'll check into the GE.
Sling comes thru online? Steaming?

Thanks, Geno PS , I get my hockey games online now! bought one for the camp last month to watch college football on local channels. prices vary by the range they pick up. think the one I got was $30 for 50 mile range. got it at Wally world. course the digital adapter for the old TV there was another $50. out in the sticks, but picks up 15 channels.

Thanks Big D,
I'll check Wally's also,
We're probably updating to a "smart TV" this winter from our old cathode ray tube (hey, it was her mom's, it was 25" screen, it has a really great picture quality, it was free and we were "poor" at the time, and it still works... why get rid of it?). So I probably won't get the digital adapter, just an antenna.
Apreciate all the help folks,
Geno
