Most people I've helped just want to get "local" channels, when working with them I find they want local
news and the networks with or without an antenna - sharing what I've found and what we do.
We've tried most all of the streaming devices available, our favorite are the Roku family.
Antenna info is on the "your options" page link at top.
Here's how to watch local news.
All the local channels offer free online live broadcasts during normal news times.
A few have Roku apps as well, just follow the link, click "+add channel" and then update your Roku to see the new apps.
If not during live broadcast time, they replay the last newscast or have news and weather on-demand
