Im planning on pulling it strait out of the air for freesies through the use of untrackable antenna technology from 90 years ago.

real pro strat is to buy an ATSC tuner card for your PC and record or stream that shit too

Doing exactly this with tvheadend and a Hauppauge wintv HVR-2250 dual ATSC board. Thanks for reminding me to set it to record.

I need to get a better antenna. I can get Fox and ABC, but NBC and CBS must be too far away.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There are apps/sites that showyou where the antennas for the channels are so you can try to point at the one you want. That might help

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I downloaded an app that came with my antenna that shows where the station broadcast antennas are, but unfortunately the room I’m using it in is on the south side of my house, and the two stations I can’t get are North of me

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. There’s an old Dish Network dish on my roof from the last owner. I need to get an outdoor antenna and find a way to mount it on the dish.

[–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Outdoor antennas are typically pole mount. You might be able to extend the dish pole or just remove the dish and use the mount and cabling.
