I have never regretted cutting the cord! I love ROKU and adding an HD antenna gives me 22 local channels, which I have programmed to my favorites of 11. My experience is far better than cable😎
How do you get CNN without paying right now I get CNN for nine minutes and then they stop it
Nowhere did I see What you promised "How to Watch Live TV and Local Channels on Roku & Roku TV" . I just want live local channels to my area. I know how to read and understand that movies are under the heading of Movies thanks captain obviouse!!!
Found a huge external antenna mounted indoors in my attic and connected up a 30' cable to my LG smart tv, ran channel scan and got 34 channels (!!) clean and clear. Unbelievable especially when websites told me that most I could expect was 9 - 12 channels clearly. Antenna was in house back when purchased in 2003... new fangled aka high-tech (??) not always needed. Just get your antenna up high... THANKS for this info which inspired me.
Cut the cable cord 3 months ago. I have an antenna, roku, and Philo. I love my choices. I also have Netflix with my nephew and hulu with my son. I have tons to watch! Saving tons of money too! Still pay less than cable. Ppl should really get rid of cable.
Thanks, from a frustrated no more, 78 yr. old, cord cutting couple. We will be following your sage money saving, advice. 💰
Antenna can work without roku, just select antenna input, and after scanning for channels on your tv you are done. It is important to watch a couple of videos before selecting the right antenna, because expensive antennas are not always good ones.
Yes, it does work.
Lies again? Old Jerk
I just bought a Smart TV and a Roku Streaming Stick + so all of this is new to me. Because it's new to me your video gave me too much information, my head is ready to explode, I don't know where to start!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Every couple of months (for the last 2 or 3 years) I think of getting rid of my Xfinity. After all- I only watch prime time shows and about 6 other channels. I DVR EVERYTHING and hate TV commercials. I have been hesitant because I have no desire to watch live TV and I know my husbands wants local news. Your video has shown me that this move I have been wanting to make for years is possible. I can't thank you enough! :)
Great. Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad it helped.
@@CordCuttingReport It did. We ordered a Roku and cut the cord yesterday. I couldn't be happier :)
Rabbit ear antenna, I get 70 Channels one TV and other, I get 62 Channels. Next I will get Roku, to get rid of the one cable box. Which will save me, $60.00 per month. Their prices are literally going up every month, for the last 5 years. Something different had changed every month. Thank you for your update and advice.
Great Videos! we just moved to an area that does not offer service of the major cable companies and it is driving my wife crazy. We already have Roku as a supplement to the most basic Spectrum package at our previous house. Last night we bought a RCA HD Antenna and will set it up tonight. Too bad you don"t live near Danville IN. I would love to pick your brain and have you over to give us pointers. The videos I've watched so far will be a big help. Thanks!
I got a ge hd antenna for 30 bucks and got 68 channels in nw ohio
This is my first time ever hearing of locast. Thanks!
iUse Rabbit Ears from the 1970's and Receive every Local Channel availed in my city in Canada.... USB Stick in the back allows to Pause, rewind, and catch up to the LIVE TV Channel you're watching..... a neat side benefit to ROKU Tvs....
@@pjlu2 my last
I don't know about other cable services but Comcast does remotely block viewers from accessing tv channels if you don't subscribe to their pay service.
After stopping Comcast cable I have able to access many channels with a HDTV antenna. I am now trying to access local channels through Roku.
@@arlenethomas8444 You can just without a tv guide. Things needed.....ruku with usb, roku media player app, windows computer with tv tuner and npvr. Configure npvr with tv tuner....create a playlist of local channels (.m3u)..... verify they play using vlc.....save playlist to usb stick then insert into roku usb port....open roku media plaer app and select usb/video.... pick playlist and watch you right to view local channels free ......
We have had Locast since Feb. It's good but you have to watch it in real time and you can't record anything
Per the link to the 1TB hard drive: I don't know your reasons for preferring the Western Digital HD but I've been a Seagate man for years. And FYI at the bottom of the page where the $54.99 WD HD is compared, there sits a Seagate 2TB HD (#1 best seller at that) for $59.99. I'd say that an extra $5 for double the capacity from a good company is a good deal, wouldn't you?
Western digital has 2 product lines, one is more reliable than the other but I forget which, Seagate is a much more reliable product.
9 months later, the Seagate 2 TB HD is now $62.99 and if you click on the 2 TB HD Western Digital HD link, it's $64.99. The Seagate comes with a 1 yr. warranty and the WD comes with a 3 yr. warranty. I've had Seagate and WD HD's over the years and always had much better luck with WD's HD's. The Seagate's always tend to run hotter, slower and many times have bad sectors show up within a year or two.
Just got a TCL Roku TV. This is the most helpful video I've seen so far. Thank you! Subscribed.
Awesome. Glad it helped!
Hi
I installed LoCast, and it's great! The only issue I've had with it is CBS is blacked out, not sure if it's a glitch or by design. Thank you for this suggestion!
@@daviddriggers3521 CBS is now working, so it was probably a glitch.
I enjoyed Locast for about 2 weeks on my laptop. As of September 2nd, they have ceased operations.....Grrrrr
Locast is gone
I needed more info on how to get free nfl channels for my hubby. Just got rib of cable and have a hard time doing that. Thanks
I just stumble across your channel.and Love how you explain it step by step.Love free stations.By the way I just subscribe.
me too..thank you😀
I have regular antenna in a rural area... but we only get a couple of GB ..per month.. so I am concerned that if we watch rocky that it will eat up our minutes?
Excellent video, I'm set up with an indoor antenna the streaming is pretty good.
How?
We have basic roku connected to an old tv. We're looking for a good service for streaming live sports, especially football and tennis. Do you think Sling is the way to go? Thank you. I like your channel.
Thank you! The info you provide is super helpful & detailed! I’ve gotten more useful content from your channel from just one viewing than I’ve gotten anywhere ever! I just subscribed.
We had Locast & it was great. The greedy cable companies got a Cease & Desist order & shut them completely down! It’s no longer broadcasting in NYC.
OTA channels are not always available - competing commercial broadcast antennas can block as well as rural location have zero access to OTA channels. Roko does offer NewsOn that will provide local channel news/weather which is only reason I want local.
This is a great resource for everyone. Thanks. My problem is related to scanning my Samsung TV. I simply fail at it. Any suggestions? Again thanks.
You still need internet service as well .. Correct ??
I have it on my phone....but it won't let me tether.... and even if it did I have no way to know how to contact Roku and the internet.. ETC...
If I figure it out...I will use your link below.
Zero internet in my area
Thank you so very much and God bless you and your family
Locast is no longer available, the next best I've found is localBTV. It pales in comparison, but until broadcast channels acutally allow a free service to stream their content it's the next best thing.
@Cord Cutting Report - How do you get free CNN? That's a pay tv channel on my old cable system. I know there are specially recorded segments that appear here or there on some of the streaming free channels. But that's not the same as being able to tune in and watch actual CNN live, as it happens.
I have a roku and am using it a lot more now. I want to cut my cable service. I'm interested primarily in college sports especially midwest and Big 10 areas and local stations. My primary TV is in the Basement and the other in the living room.
I've been considering purchasing an indoor antenna for a while. I think I will check out the clear stream eclipse. I've been kind of questioning which one would be the best.

Thank you!
This is great information but I am in a pickle. I am in an apartment building on the north side of the building where I can only get 5 stations with an indoor antenna. Can’t do an outdoor antenna because I can’t get the coaxial into the building. Feeling stuck! Help! We have Sling Orange & Blue but just want local TV...
I’m going to try this. I pay a ridiculous amount of money for cable and I have Roku!
Do I need to open the ROKU channel and then add the other channels mentioned in the top 10 Free channels? I'm new to all of this and am a little bit confused. I currently have cable, but will be discontinuing it October 31st. When I turn on my TV, the first screen shows ROKU, the cable company channel, and other channels that I watch from cable; however, some of them want me to upgrade in order to watch "locked" programs.
Will my satellite internet be used if I buy the rocky or the tablo? If so will it use up my minutes? Or does it just use antenna?
I found your channel when I searched in my browser for an answer to how I can watch Fox news live. I ended up with more info than I expected an understood. My only question is can I setup my Toshiba 2 tb external drive to replace the tablo? If so, where can I go to find out how to do this with my antenna? Thanks
Very helpful. I acted on my of your recommendations. Trying to cut the cord. Too bad about Locast.
LOVED YOUR CHANNEL, HELPED ME ALOT STEP BY STEP AWSOME THANK YOU
very interesting. Can I use this tablo with my amazon fire? I have the out door digital antenna too.
Locast don't work on all locations because I tried it and since I live on the Gulf Coast it only service is like New York or California but hopefully it will be added here.
and every 15 or so minutes, they beg for money
Live in Tampa and I get it,
Newson app
nice , i love my roku , set up duel antenna 4 years ago, never look back.

Owen Wilson narrating the Cord Cutting Report. 😂
Thank u bro but am I able 2 watch those channels if I'm outside the USA? I'm currently in mexico. It really sucks that I'm not able 2 watch the U.s channels. I could watch some becuz I'm next the San diego. Cali
If I do not record shows do I need the hard drive with the Tablo Thanks
Can you do this with an Amazon fire stick too?
I'm thinking about getting Philo but after watching, I'm still a little confused. Before I switch to Philo 1) Will I need a Tablo device for each TV that I have? 2) If I have a ROKU device for each TV now, will I still need an antenna before or after switching to Philo? Thank you for sharing.
Done Philo for a month it has a one line DVR service but hard to use, it did not have ABC so my wife did not like it,, had to swap to youtubetv
I like youtube tv, even tho the price went up to $64.99. I still like it. I get my locals channels, all Disney channels, Travel, stay, alot of sports channels. Everything I want and nothing of what I dont want. So I am very happy with UA-cam Tv....
$71.00 now to bad they added crappy channels, they need to ad the history channel,, The DVR service is good with it
Thanks, I'm going to look into the Tablo, will use your link. I can't watch any free networks like CBS or NBC on THEIR apps on my Roku hooked up to my projector because they all say they aren't part of my cable package, which doesn't exist. I can't use an antenna with the projector, but I think it will work running ethernet from the Tablo to the Roku. One way to find out.
How did this work out? This is my exact issue!
@@aaronbeard3926 Haven't got to it yet. I just keep forgetting.
Sling is ok but there are so many better options and at better prices will look up some of your other videos as you are clear and concise thank you
Very interesting. For the HD Antennae, is this 1080p or what resolution? Also, do the free channels provide 1080p, etc? Tks for the idea. I will check out your other videos.
The antenna has nothing to do with resolution, that is between the source and the TV. The antenna is like the sail, what the sail (or antenna) is attached to defines what happens. Any antenna that advertises HD, resolution, digital, etc. is trying to suck in the ill informed to buy their antenna when the one on their roof already may be just fine. If it picked up the old analog signal, it will pick up the digital signal.
sorry i was not finished with my previous comment and question: my wifi router is in the basement. Will I need to put an antenna in the atic? I dont want to put one outside.
Hi, I can't use an antenna since my location has very high hills along with magnum sized trees between me and the broadcasting antennas. I have tried....I am only doing some streaming....
Newson app works great, try it out.
Why not just hook the antenna to the TV port on the television and the Roku to the HDMI port? The TV remote can switch from antenna local channels to HDMI Roku.
Before I decide to cut the cord from Spectrum, I'm trying to figure out the best approach and this way is exactly what I have in mind.
Not everyone can pick up over the air with antennas. Particularly, me. I live behind a large hill which is between my house and the TV stations.
Thanks - my new Roku TV found 300+ channels so I have trouble finding the basic 50 ish channels I used to navigate - now I have a ton of great channels but can't quickly find my basic over the air local stuff and quickly access it easily without digging through all those other nice channels. It's like Pluto channels are loaded and not my basic commercial TV channels I am used to scrolling. I love it but I need to quickly access those basic live and local stuff easily. PLEASE HELP. THANKS.Z
I did not know about locast - I will look into that - thanks for that tip!
I figured out a weird way to do it but it's a pain to do every time I want those basic antenna channels.
oh my goodness how on earth could you learn all this???? Can we go back to simple cable from the 80s - I was around when Star Trek was doing it's first run and watching it - lol. Beam me up Scotty. Thanks for the info today!
I have A Roko express And a clearStream antenna do I need the Tablo to access my local channels
Local channels is a relative term. Some markets are not supported. If you live in a smaller rural area your local channels won't be accessible, instead, your local channels will be from the big city.
I have sling and Roku and I have Pluto and IBut the only thing I’m having a hard time with it on I can’t find my local news even when I use an antenna my antenna I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or whatever but I was just wondering maybe you might be able to give me some tips tips or a little tricks I might be able to try it be much appreciated
We live full-time in a 5th wheel, our TV is LG and we have WiFi, will this work for us to get live TV shows?
Helpful video. What is meant by the Tablo needs a hard drive? Thank you.
These particular models do not have storage space for recordings. So you need a hard drive for storage.
@@CordCuttingReport If you don't need to record and only want to play live TV would it be true that you DO NOT need a hard drive for your Tablo?
@@geneledue9640 True -- in fact, my father-in-law does that with his Tablo. He watched football tonight.
I just ordered the antenna from your affiliate link. Thanks
Thanks very much. Appreciate it.
Of course this will only work if one lives close enough to a town/ city with broadcast towers that can be picked up with an antenna. I would need a 250 ft tower for that to be a viable option. Even then, I probably would only pick up 1 or 2 channels on a good day.
Almost anyone in a rural area which most of the country is this will NOT work.
Do I need the internet to use indoor antenna to view broadcast channels?
Will this METHOD work in CANADA ??? ( Ontario CANADA )
I miss my local NEWS & Weather
COOP
I can't get local channels with an antenna from my house I swear the cable company is blocking them some how . I've tried different ones indoor outdoor attic I still only get a couple of channels that aren't even local
Sometimes odd obstructions like building materials, power lines and hills can obstruct a signal. Things might get better for you when ATSC 3.0 comes around in the next few years. There is supposed to be much fewer problems with reception.
Finding the correct antenna for the job is sometimes a very daunting task. You have to orient yourself in terms of where the signal is from where you are versus the real to frequency of the stations.
Locast.org is free and doesn't require an antenna .
I can't get a good antenna signal in my condo .
Did you do a channel scan?
@@audreyporter7641 yes but you need to be clear to a city that's within it's area. I live in South Central Pa and thought I could get the locast from either Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. Nope. Best I can get with the antenna is a PBS station in Maryland.
Getting ready to cut the cord. I need all the information I can get! Thank you so much!
DO IT. Cable is a waste of money. I did it yesterday and ordered a ROKU last night and it came today. Super fast and easy to set up. Takes a while for you to choose all the channels you want but that's up to you and you don't have to do them all at once. Roku is a one time charge of $39.00 and that is it! No monthly anything forever! LOL
Thankyou the locast worked perfect cause I just need my local fox nbc and cbs and it's cheap I was about to do sling
Thank you so much! I got a roku tv like a year ago but I never used it because I absolutely hate setting up new devices. Having to enter passwords for everything, etc. Well I finally set it up a few days ago and I really love it! It's definitely worth the set up process. I didn't even think about how to watch regular tv on it. I've never had a smart tv before. I used chrome cast with my old one. And it was easy to watch regular channels. Although I watch regular tv maybe only a couple times a year these days. Usually watch hulu, amazon prime, etc. Anyway, tonight I wanted to watch some kind of new years Eve show and I realized I didn't know how on my new tv! Here it is 11 pm and I don't know how to watch regular tv. I never imagined as a younger person there would one day be this dilemma in my life 😂 I was going through the menu racking my brain trying to figure it out and then you said it's in settings! I have a cord that hooks up to my VCR (yes! I'm that old 😁) and I used it as an antenna for my old tv so I hope it works until I can get something else. 🤞
It worked! I'm watching new years rockin Eve! ♥️♥️♥️
If I unplug my TV will I have to reprogram my tv if I'm using an antenna?
I tried using one of the attenas but unfortunately it wouldn't pick up 82 miles away to watch local channels mainly sports. By the time I would purchase one that goes 100 miles away and the other necessities I would be cheaper paying to get local or atleast football on sunday. It was worth a try.
Here is some more guidance on TV antennas if you are interested in using one.
cordcuttingreport.com/cord-cutting-guide/#step-3-lets-really-talk-about-tv-antennas
I hope that helps.
Getting a signal from 100 miles away your chances are slim and none due to the curvature of the earth after 70 miles.
I use a combination of Sling TV Blue with a Tablo Quad DVR for OTA TV. Tablo has a wonderful user interface. I know that Sling has partnered with AirTv but it only has 2 digital tuners and for OTA recording 2 tuners is just not enough. I wish There was a seamless way to integrate OTA channels with subscription streaming content in one guide. Any suggestions?
Subscribed.
I don't think anyone has come up with an elegant solution yet for marrying OTA and a service like Sling TV into a single channel lineup. Hardware manufacturers are well aware that it's kind of the Holy Grail.
Tivo appears to have taken a shot at it with it's latest 4K streaming dongle. I haven't tried it yet, but no one seems super crazy about it. The Channels app (for HDHomeRun) integrates OTA and TV Everywhere apps. Haven't tried it, but it appears to be a step forward.
If I find something close to what you're describing, I'll definitely make a video.
Calvin... what sort of channel load times are you getting with your Tablo Quad? I just got a Dual within the hour from Amazon and it's terrible... usually at least 10 seconds minimum. It's hard to get a straight answer on the channel load times from reviews, too.
@@johnchristianjr the channel load time with the Tablo is unacceptably long (more than 8 seconds). Even though it only has two digital tuners I have switched to the new AirTV-2. It is very fast switching between channels and in an A/B comparison the AirTV picks up many more clear channels. The integration with Sling Blue is wonderful to the point it's hard to tell whether you are going OTA or streaming channel.
@@johnchristianjr takes me a long time to load also. I just use a regular antenna for viewing and the Tablo for recording. The picture is more crisp if you LIVE VIEW directly from the antenna.
Hello
I have a Roku tv. I bought an antenna. I still don't have any of the local channels/pbs/etc... We're trying to get the Sunday football games.
When they can cover CBC in Canada would be awesome. Right now we have the Express and it's super confusing to go from Bell Fibe to this because it doesn't work the same. We are not techie. Everything techie is a huge deal for us. I still have a headache from setting up internet and Roku. lol
Can you tell me if I can use a USB cable from my phone to my Roku TV and use that to watch TV ? Thank you Daniel .
Iwebtv
tcl pause and record built in Step 1: Plug a USB-compatible storage device into your TCL TV's USB port. Step 2: Navigate to the channel you want to pause and record, then press your TV remote Options button. Step 3: Next, head to Live TV Pause.
I was really looking forward to getting Locast...now its not there anymore...bummer...
I live in WNC with hills all around. With all these hills how do I get ota tv? I have tried several antannas but no have worked. Have used 20 foot pole. What next? Locust doesn’t have my area.

Under the review section on the site, I also have a review for the best outdoor TV antennas.
mix match and ROTATE. I use a combo of netflicks, Hulu(no commercial), a OTA with Tablo for a DVR, and rotate in an app for deals ect. I am about to cancel my Starz promo, which was 20$ for like 6 months. I also suspend my Hulu when HBOmax came out, and have enjoyed crazy covid lockdown dinnertime with big bang and GOT reruns. swapping them in & out is a fun way to watch a show(outlander on Starz), then shift to another app and watch that content.
All the shows that I was watching on HULU I watch for free on STreamm4u so I cancelled that
Ok. We are having a very hard time money wise- my brother bought us a Roku 3 series tv, do we could shut off our expensive Dish. I have a RCA antenna on with the big square pad. The only thing is, when the wind blows, the news keeps blowing off the channel. What else can I do to watch our local channels that will not cost me a lot so we can watch it with out wind interference? Thank you
I have a question. I bought a roku tv I'm still figuring it out. I need wifi, don't I.
You need an Internet connection -- either through WiFi or an Ethernet connection to connect to apps. If you're just hooking up a TV antenna directly to the back of the TV, then you do not need an Internet connection for that. Hope that helps.
@@CordCuttingReport yes, thank you. I've been using just antenna, but want to cast from my phone. Thanks again
@@CordCuttingReport I have a Roku tv and a bad Internet company. my WiFi, Ethernet, both quit working. my computer quit working for 2 days my tv has not worked for 5 or 6 days. the company said they will be here Monday. but in the meantime, I have to go stir-crazy until then.
One cool cheat is buy a 'chromcast device'. The guys at 'Tivo' have one for sale at 50$. Its technically an 'app box' like fire tv or Apple TV, but it DOES allow you cast from you cell phone or cpu to your roku tv!
1st you need a established internet provider! Then you need a wifi router. or a DSL ROUTER so the Smart TV can pick up its signal threw WIFI Then this will make Amazon Fire Stick to work off the wifi signal to >> I got my DSL router, threw my phone company
You didn't mention sling free. It is located at the bottom of their website in the small print.
Where can I watch jeopardy & wheel of fortune?? Thanks--- I cannot get my local channel by antennae for these channels.
Good thing about locast is that if you miss something you can always change the location of the channels to something on a different time zone and catch it later,, I live in the EasternTIme Zone I can watch a show hours later on the mountion time zone or eastern Time zone
Locast is gone now.
I would like to be able to watch the news from a city I've moved away from. Is this possible using Roku?
Yes u can.
Hi, am from africa,can you advise on the best free to air receiver i can purchase from Amazon.
But if you hook the antenna to the tv you can only watch on that one TV, correct?
Are they shut down now? It's saying that services are suspended effective IMMEDIATELY !!! Can you please advise?
I've tried tons of antennas and am lucky to get 5 channels which are mostly Spanish or oldies due to where my apt is located. I'm using an outdoor antenna that is small as they won't allow anything visible. It is a 35 mile one although I've tried up to 75 with same result. Any other ideas?
Who won't allow something visable? That is illegal.
@@jimross2101 Probably the apartment managment.
I have a Roku TV but for some reason I have lost some of my local channels I have scanned the channels but it is not coming back and on channel 4 it says VCR I do not have a VCR what is going on please
Not sure. Sounds like it could be a software issue. Try unplugging your TV. Wait about a minute, then plug it back in. Hope that helps.
Do you know why here in Hawaii we still don't have access (for free with an antenna) to the national free networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS)? How is it that my state doesn't have to adhere to the national legislation on the matter? Thanks.
Thanks for your info, will be ordering an antenna soon
I might order stuff just gotta check if they have Telemundo or Univision if not I'll just buy the univision app subscription which is like $10 a month still cheaper than cable lol. Mom is the only one who watches live tv but she doesn't like that they're charging her so much I told her just to cut the cord and I'll figure out the rest because she only watches 2 channels
An informational update - Locast no longer exists. The major networks sued Locast for copyright infringement, and Locast had to shut down.
Ok so assume I'm not cable savvy. If I have a roku TV, what do I need for me to be able to connect to internet? I need to get rid of Comcast at 202 a month. I also have Verizon cell service. I'm tech illiterate. All comcast does to help is try to increase my bill by giving me free crap for 3 months then charge. Can I just buy something to connect to internet?
I got over a thousand free channels, but I down size to just 3 channels or apps.
CBS for news, Netflix from my friend and UA-cam for it infinite searchs for my liking. Heck, UA-cam recommended this video on my Roku lol.
P. S I like watching nature show with green plants, aquarium and action gaming or martial arts shows.
A
Its available for Puerto Rico?
You don’t mention whether these steaming services offer HD. I almost traded in my cable equipment when I learned about Locast but then realized I’d be losing HD. Is it also true of paid livestream services?
I'm rural and locast has nothing for me. The station has to be in your area to receive. My local stations are not available and authorties do not allow out of area sub stations I guess.
Very Informative!! Will combine Pluto and Philo! Thanks So Much
!
Awesome Channel, this post really helped me!
How is reception in the rain, wind, and snow?
no probalme better then DISH or DIRECT TV I hated it when it cut out because of bad weather which is why I will never go backt to them, I'm using my old DIRECT TV antanna as a solar cooker
