Yes, we've got the usual streaming services for movies, but I don't want to pay another monthly stack of cash to get some local TV stations. Before I spend the money on a DTV antenna, I'm curious if anyone has had any success with antenna reception. https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps shows only KVCR (PBS) and KWHY (Spanish) from our cabin. Is there anything else available?
https://tvfool.com/ does a good job predicting coverage. Note that antenna height is probably the most important variable.
If you're on the east side of town, you might get translators from Victorville, or maybe something from out toward San Bernardino. Anything on Mt. Wilson is questionable.
I've been a cord cutter since 2014, so I've gotten creative.
I am interested in local news. KTLA streams all of their news on their website and apps. I know KABC does (they're my second news source).
We buy a lot from Amazon, so we've got Prime. Their streaming is quite good, and since I'd pay for Prime anyway, it's free.
During the Olympics, I'll sign up for a streaming service for a month. I think Peacock had the Olympic coverage this year.
I need to binge The Mandelorian, so when I have time, Disney Plus for a couple of months tops.
Nearly all of the streaming services are month to month, so I sign up and cancel at will. The ones that let you watch on demand are rarely more than $10, while the ones that are more like cable are often close to $50. $50 is too much.
Couldn't tell you what the network shows are right now. They usually come up later on some streaming service.
There are old threads about over-the-air TV on here, but TV channels have been realigned/repacked at least twice, so they're probably out of date.
Be interesting if anyone is actually watching over the air now in Wrightwood.
