    I use over-the-air supplemented by a few streaming services. After years of cable, it was startling how much better the picture and sound are with OTA. It used to be that cable was better quality, but they have compressed it down to the point where it is just barely acceptable.

    Neither at the moment, but cable is actually getting more appealing giving the constant splintering of streaming services.

    Plex + HDHR = beautiful.

    For everything else I just sail some seas.

    Helps that I’m a lifetime plex member and have been for a long time now.

    Where I live, you get very little over air TV. In fact, I’m not sure there’s anything now.

    We don’t pay for TV, but I have a little yo-ho-ho station, check out DVDs from the library, stream, or occasionally watch one of those free Pluto channels if I just want background noise

      In the United States here and I haven’t had non-streaming television since I moved out of my parent’s house.

      Toyed with things like Sling and YouTube TV once, but they just aren’t worth it.

        If I watch any shows or movies it is from a selfhosted Jellyfin server. No need for any subscriptions or cable TV.

    USA here. Where I live if you want to watch anything you have to pay for it or ride the high seas. OTA doesn’t work in rural communities, this signal is too weak from the big cities, and even in the city OTA can be questionable based on location.

      Never had problems with OTA signal in my area. I did have a antenna on the roof in all of my locations so that might have helped.

    TV? What’s that?

    Everything through my laptop. Except for a shared Netflix account that costs me 5 bucks a month, and I only watch it on my phone.
