This is what we ended up with........
DirectTV Now with a Roku
An over the air antenna with a good booster. We now have all the channels we ever watched and locals for the news and football.
Couple of things I learned antennaweb.org will tell you what channels you can receive at your physical address. This was big help to me because we tried 3 different indoor antennas and could not pick up the one local news channel we wanted. I learned that I had to raise the antenna to 30 feet to receive it. I know 30 feet sounds really high but, if think about the height of your house and go to the highest peak I bet you can get close with a small antenna pole. The other thing we struggled with was the NO DVR part of the directtv. We don’t often watch shows when they are being broadcast, we have teenagers and life happens, so with that, on the Roku you can download APPs from all the major networks and stream the broadcast shows typically within a few days of the broadcast. The other thing we were concerned with was the internet speed being to slow. The directtv is designed to be run on cellphone speed internet. We have had very few issues we could blame on internet speed. All in All we have been very pleased and our DirectTV bill went from 135.00 a month to 35.00. That’s 1,200 a year in savings. We have had DirectTV Now for 3 months and unless something drastically changes we won’t be going back.....
