Switched to fiber the moment it was installed on my street and dropped Xfinity. Loved the convo with them. What can they do to keep me. What can they do to lower my bill. Let's look for promos you can have. That ship has sailed. It's a done deal. I replaced you. You were an abusive partner for years.
I wasn't even getting good cable. I was getting lower speed broadband and only local channels. With fiber my bill cut almost in half, my download speed doubled, my upload speed went up 30x, and this $10 antennae is getting my more local channels.
F off Xfinity.

You want the flat face of this antenna to face the most stations or the station you care most about.
The iPhone has a built-in compass app, not sure about Android.

Anything you dislike about this? Curious to hear your experience
A antenna is the way to knock off $30-$40 if you go with a subscription like sling or any of the others. I have been using Airtv, HDhomerun and amerzons recast. All are 1 time equipment charge and then that "local tv" fee is gone from your life. Yea there is a learning curve in manipulating all those services, but you are no longer involved in the racketeering concast has done for years.
I have tried several antenna's over the years. I have found cheap antenna systems are cheap for a reason. A amplified cheap antennal can be even worse. If you have a good enough signal, you wont need a amp. What a good amp would have is a 5G filter built in. That is a huge thing these days.
I followed a guy "tyler the antenna man" on yourtube. I found one of his favorite antenna makers at the menardo store. I got the cheapest televes indoor/outdoor antenna ($100). I had my doubts that such a small antenna would work where others failed. It did not fail.
It gets hard to get a good signal on atsc1. There is a new Atsc3 that is said to make the signal less of a issue but future comes with a cost. It will "require" internet connection to get decrypt keys from the broadcaster via the internet. Do you see where this is going? They want to end atsc1 by 2028. That would mean all tv sets that currently work be useless. The Hdhomerun, Airtv, tablow, and recast will be useless in 2028 if you dont have internet and that might not be enough. You will still need internet, so comcrap wins again.
Folks need to be filing complaints to the FCC now because local free tv as we know it is going away and no antenna will help you with out internet so what is the use?. Broadcasters do not need to encrypt, but are not interested in providing tv free, encryption is what they want.. They want to use the frequency's for other projects and it is all under the radar to the average guy who wont know until it has already happened
Call congress if you want local free tv . If you don't care now, then don't complain later.
As far as this deal goes? Arg.. You really need to understand the frequencies needed in your area before you know if a antenna will work for you. If you did your homework at antenna web dot com, or antennal fools, you can decide if it will work for you. I would guess a $10 antenna will work for sure if you can see the towers from the antenna location. If you have aluminum siding or stucco siding, you will need a outdoor antenna.
