In Atlanta, you would think the market is large enough for each local to have a live stream, but the only one I can see is WSB... We are in the “fringe” reception range for the locals and I might look for a high-gain over-the-air antenna, but with the thunderstorms we get every summer, that’s asking for trouble with even a strike nearby (how I lost a SW radio).
We’re not big on sports either — mainly because every time I watch the Braves, they lose. So I have made a personal commitment to stop watching & jinxing them.
The channel lineup on Playstation Vue has all the history, discovery, science, etc channels that we like to watch. So I’ve got my fingers crossed that when it launches, it comes in at a subscription price competitive to Sling TV. If it does, we’re on it.
True, lightning strikes are a constant danger here as well. I am up in the mountains where the nearest OTA BTV station is roughly 100 miles and on the other side of several mountains so there is no reception here, no matter how good an external antanne you have. Recently lost a modem due to a distant lightning strike, which really threw off our schedule for several days until we could replace it.
There are online options currently available, as I have mentioned in other posts, where you can view many popular programs and TV series if you look around. Heck, even YouTube has episodes of the History and Discovery Channels available, if you do not mind the tiny screensize and low rez.
You should give them a try. :)
