Found a huge external antenna mounted indoors in my attic and connected up a 30' cable to my LG smart tv, ran channel scan and got 34 channels (!!) clean and clear. Unbelievable especially when websites told me that most I could expect was 9 - 12 channels clearly. Antenna was in house back when purchased in 2003... new fangled aka high-tech (??) not always needed. Just get your antenna up high... THANKS for this info which inspired me.

Antenna can work without roku, just select antenna input, and after scanning for channels on your tv you are done. It is important to watch a couple of videos before selecting the right antenna, because expensive antennas are not always good ones.

Per the link to the 1TB hard drive: I don't know your reasons for preferring the Western Digital HD but I've been a Seagate man for years. And FYI at the bottom of the page where the $54.99 WD HD is compared, there sits a Seagate 2TB HD (#1 best seller at that) for $59.99. I'd say that an extra $5 for double the capacity from a good company is a good deal, wouldn't you?

@uraniumu242 4 года назад

Western digital has 2 product lines, one is more reliable than the other but I forget which, Seagate is a much more reliable product.

@woodworkerjunkie 3 года назад

9 months later, the Seagate 2 TB HD is now $62.99 and if you click on the 2 TB HD Western Digital HD link, it's $64.99. The Seagate comes with a 1 yr. warranty and the WD comes with a 3 yr. warranty. I've had Seagate and WD HD's over the years and always had much better luck with WD's HD's. The Seagate's always tend to run hotter, slower and many times have bad sectors show up within a year or two.

I didn't even think about how to watch regular tv on it. I've never had a smart tv before. I used chrome cast with my old one. And it was easy to watch regular channels. Although I watch regular tv maybe only a couple times a year these days. Usually watch hulu, amazon prime, etc. Anyway, tonight I wanted to watch some kind of new years Eve show and I realized I didn't know how on my new tv! Here it is 11 pm and I don't know how to watch regular tv. I never imagined as a younger person there would one day be this dilemma in my life 😂 I was going through the menu racking my brain trying to figure it out and then you said it's in settings!

@daveedson8607 3 года назад

The antenna has nothing to do with resolution, that is between the source and the TV. The antenna is like the sail, what the sail (or antenna) is attached to defines what happens. Any antenna that advertises HD, resolution, digital, etc. is trying to suck in the ill informed to buy their antenna when the one on their roof already may be just fine. If it picked up the old analog signal, it will pick up the digital signal.

I don't think anyone has come up with an elegant solution yet for marrying OTA and a service like Sling TV into a single channel lineup. Hardware manufacturers are well aware that it's kind of the Holy Grail. Tivo appears to have taken a shot at it with it's latest 4K streaming dongle. I haven't tried it yet, but no one seems super crazy about it. The Channels app (for HDHomeRun) integrates OTA and TV Everywhere apps. Haven't tried it, but it appears to be a step forward. If I find something close to what you're describing, I'll definitely make a video.

Calvin... what sort of channel load times are you getting with your Tablo Quad? I just got a Dual within the hour from Amazon and it's terrible... usually at least 10 seconds minimum. It's hard to get a straight answer on the channel load times from reviews, too.

@CalvinCroucher 4 года назад

@@johnchristianjr the channel load time with the Tablo is unacceptably long (more than 8 seconds). Even though it only has two digital tuners I have switched to the new AirTV-2. It is very fast switching between channels and in an A/B comparison the AirTV picks up many more clear channels. The integration with Sling Blue is wonderful to the point it's hard to tell whether you are going OTA or streaming channel.

@cleopatrajones2024 4 года назад

@@johnchristianjr takes me a long time to load also. I just use a regular antenna for viewing and the Tablo for recording. The picture is more crisp if you LIVE VIEW directly from the antenna.

Hello

@altha-rf1et 4 года назад

Good thing about locast is that if you miss something you can always change the location of the channels to something on a different time zone and catch it later,, I live in the EasternTIme Zone I can watch a show hours later on the mountion time zone or eastern Time zone

if my antenna will not get a local channel because of where I'm situated, will roku allow me to get local channels that I can't get with the antenna?

I've tried tons of antennas and am lucky to get 5 channels which are mostly Spanish or oldies due to where my apt is located. I'm using an outdoor antenna that is small as they won't allow anything visible. It is a 35 mile one although I've tried up to 75 with same result. Any other ideas?

When they can cover CBC in Canada would be awesome. Right now we have the Express and it's super confusing to go from Bell Fibe to this because it doesn't work the same. We are not techie. Everything techie is a huge deal for us. I still have a headache from setting up internet and Roku. lol

I like youtube tv, even tho the price went up to $64.99. I still like it. I get my locals channels, all Disney channels, Travel, stay, alot of sports channels. Everything I want and nothing of what I dont want. So I am very happy with RU-vid Tv....

Not sure. Sounds like it could be a software issue. Try unplugging your TV. Wait about a minute, then plug it back in. Hope that helps.

Did I understand correctly with Roku an antenna you can watch the channels you could get with the antenna on other devices as well without all the devices having an antenna?

@nicksam5518 4 года назад

roku is specific unit or plug in. They also sell a few TV s with a built in 'roku'. so no, it would need a device for each tv in your home. its just like a vcr. a box you need to plug in.

@swagmather 3 года назад

I might order stuff just gotta check if they have Telemundo or Univision if not I'll just buy the univision app subscription which is like $10 a month still cheaper than cable lol. Mom is the only one who watches live tv but she doesn't like that they're charging her so much I told her just to cut the cord and I'll figure out the rest because she only watches 2 channels

@TEPL1 4 года назад

So I’m currently using a two Roku 4K Streaming Sticks with Sling TV as my main TV provider and other various streaming services (wwe network, Disney+ bundle, and Netflix). If I want to watch OTA channels, are you saying all I need is one of those Tablo OTA DVRs and it uses WiFi to send the local channels straight to my Roku via the Tablo app? If so, that’s much better than having to physically change the input of my TV to “Coax” 😂

@TEPL1 4 года назад

Also, if I’m not planning on using the DVR feature of the Tablo Dual with my Streaming Stick, do I need a hard drive? Or can I just go without it?

Ok so assume I'm not cable savvy. If I have a roku TV, what do I need for me to be able to connect to internet? I need to get rid of Comcast at 202 a month. I also have Verizon cell service. I'm tech illiterate. All comcast does to help is try to increase my bill by giving me free crap for 3 months then charge. Can I just buy something to connect to internet?
