I have the bottom one in the attic, is that OK? If it works to your satisfaction then you are all set. I have an indoor/outdoor compact antenna. It's a Mohu Sky unit. At first it was in my attic and worked good. Then I mounted it outside on a gable end mount and the weak stations became strong stations.

I'm trying very hard to get my wife to cut the umbilical cord to direct. But she doesn't like change ( which has been good for me LOL) We rarely watch it which just grinds my backside due to the cost. I believe one of her resistance points is having a "channel line up" or Index of what's currently on that she can scroll through until she finds a cooking show, something on PBS or whatever. Again it's not very often that she does. I currently have Hulu, Netflix and Amazon prime. So, my question is do any of these other CHEAP offerings have a channel or program line up that one can scroll through ? hope this makes sense

I think it's about $60/month.....which is what we use.....with the price of cable internet still saves us almost $70/month. We have all the TV content we need including live/local networks for news and weather.

You can buy lifetime subscription boxes on eBay for reasonable price or new. They have a full channel guide. No monthly fees if you get the lifetime subscription one.

No monthly fees if you get the lifetime subscription one. I've been using these for years for my DVR'ing needs. They're very cheap and reliable, but you do have to add your own hard drive.

Try adding Pluto, STIRR, and Xumo.

thanks for all the suggestions, now I just have to find the time to check them out, try to find the easiest one for her, and then convince her to try them. She has said more than once just do it and I'll be forced to learn the changes. But she does so much it's hard to force something upon her. But the price is going to push it over the edge Anyone else ?
