I cut the cord (Directv) and put up an OTA HD antenna. Bought a Silicon Dust dual OTA tuner, hooked up a Windows 7 pc with media center and bought a 1 TB external HD for storage. That gets me all 10 local channels plus DVR. Then I just use Netflix and Hulu for other stuff.

you might want to look into Plex. it is a media center that also has some online stuff and can work with external tuners and alao lets you access your local media files remotely and stream them to your phone or tablet (that part costs a small fee)
www.plex.tv
it also has apps on amazon fireTV and i think RokuLast edited by Sparko; 05-03-2017, 05:14 PM.

Which I highly recommend doing to everyone. I know it's hard to believe but you simply don't need TV in your life. I still watch the occasional show but it's not an addiction anymore, just something I do when I need to kill time and shut down my brain (IE: during a meal).
Now, cutting down on frivolous computer use is another issue altogether for me."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
