Tired of blackouts on cable? Disgusted with your high cable bill? Broadcast TV networks like CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC, PBS, CW, and others are broadcast over the air for free. All you need is an antenna in your attic or on the roof to pick them up. Connect antenna to your HDTV and run a channel scan to pick up loads of free channels.
If you can’t put up an Antenna, there’s a new way to watch broadcast television. A new service called Locast will retransmit signals over the internet to your devices. Click the link below to visit their website, and read how it works below that.
Locast is a public service to Americans, providing local broadcast signals over the Internet in select cities. All you have to do is sign up online, provide your name and email address, and certify that you live in, and are logging on from, one of the select US cities (“Designated Market Area”). Then, you can select among local broadcasters and stream your favorite local station.
Locast.org is a “digital translator,” meaning that Locast.org operates just like a traditional broadcast translator service, except instead of using an over-the-air signal to boost a broadcaster’s reach, we stream the signal over the Internet to consumers located within select US cities.
Ever since the dawn of TV broadcasting in the mid-20th Century, non-profit organizations have provided “translator” TV stations as a public service. Where a primary broadcaster cannot reach a receiver with a strong enough signal, the translator amplifies that signal with another transmitter, allowing consumers who otherwise could not get the over-the-air signal to receive important programming, including local news, weather and of course, sports. Locast.org provides the same public service, except instead of an over-the-air signal transmitter, we provide the local broadcast signal via online streaming.
You need a broadband Internet connection for optimal performance. Using a laptop, smartphone, or computer connected to the Internet, point your browser to www.Locast.org to sign up. You then can choose which local broadcast station to watch from your Internet-enabled device.
Um tried that no signal here even on a 60 ft mast
A directional antenna is better than an omnidirectional antenna.
Although Ollies sells rotors for these systems that are also useful for Yagis in the UHF range you can probably hear Cumberland county with one at that height.
Tried it and didn’t work for me! No signal.
Use a QAM tuner, most modern TV’s have one built in. Cable companies give out those same over the air channels for FREE. I pay for internet but I don’t pay for my TV channels. Google QAM tuner for more information.
If it’s an HDTV it has that tuner built in.
Weird my husband and I were having this conversation last nite and here it is.
Locast worked for me! We are pulling the plug on cable, so this will be very useful
It has to reach 100 or more miles
Out of range for me..
This is pretty much all most people need. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07KYXJWRC/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1
