I’m cutting my cable on Saturday. Good riddance.

I want to put up an outside antenna, but not sure about their range. I have a couple of local stations about 70 miles to my NNE and a bunch to my S at about 70 miles.

I’ll use internet, Netflix, Roku and hope to get local channels at some point if I can work out the antenna selection.

Unless the path from your abode to the stations runs along a coast line, and unless maybe you have a parabolic seven-foot UHF dish on a 60’ tower, plus a low-noise preamp mounted near the antenna, you’re not likely to have much reception.

Oh, and don’t forget a rotator.

65 miles is about the norm for crystal clear picture
