"The best things in life are free: the sun, the moon, and network television. We tend not to talk enough about this fact, what with streaming services hogging all the attention, but it's important not to forget: there's a lot of great, important programming available to us for free over the broadcast airways. With a simple TV antenna to catch the signal, you could watch this weekend's Emmys on CBS."
"Now that football season is underway, you can watch college and NFL games on all four of the major networks. When Saturday Night Live returns early next month, it'll be right there for you on NBC. And in between those notable moments, there's local news and The Masked Singer and everything else that airs on ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, among many other channels. All you need is an inexpensive digital antenna and a TV."
Network television and many major events are available free via broadcast airways using a digital antenna and a TV. A range of indoor digital antennas can receive HDTV broadcasts, are compatible with most televisions, and can be set up in minutes. Three best-selling indoor antennas at different price points are recommended for catching major shows and sports. Online communities like RabbitEars and r/cordcutters endorse antenna use. Testing occurred from a fifth-floor Brooklyn apartment with antennas placed near a window beside a 32-inch TCL Roku TV; all three units were tested within an hour of one another and performed with less lag than some live-TV streaming platforms.
