These devices connect to various video services over the internet using apps (also known as channels.) They then stream the video directly to your TV.

Local Channels Over the Air (OTA)Cable TV doesn’t want you to know this, but local broadcast TV networks are available over the air simply using a TV antenna. In fact, today’s antenna TV has a better picture than cable. TV signals these days are digital, so you need a TV that was made after 2. Typically, you can find out if your television is equipped with a digital tuner in the user manual or on the TV manufacturer’s website.

However, an easy way to see if your TV is digital is to look at the antenna coaxial port. It looks like a fat threaded screw somewhere on the back of the TV. If your TV is digital, then there will be a label with the letters “HD”, “ATSC”, “HDTV”, or other words indicating the TV has a digital tuner.  If your TV is not digital, you can convert it using a digital converter box. Once you have a TV that is “digital ready”, all you need to do is install a TV antenna. I installed the Mohu Sky 6.

I receive all the major local broadcast networks. Mohu also makes quality indoor antennas like The Mohu Curve and Mohu Leaf.

I’ve had many ask in the comments about getting free TV through jailbroken streaming devices or getting a jailbroken Fire Stick.

I’d advise against it. While there isn’t an explicit law against it, it is a legal gray area that I feel will make an example out of some in the future.

Furthermore, it violates the terms of service of many streaming services, and some are starting to deny services on these devices.
