The big tv is in the basement. I have a cheap rabbit ear antenna that I stuff in the ceiling. Only gets a few tv OTA stations. My dream is to put an antenna upstairs with a little streamer tuner, on wifi. I tried a few years ago with a homerun box, but they had a weird broadcast system that you couldn't touch.
Now I tried a tablodual, which had great reviews, it was everything. But I worked on it for hours and it could not connect to 2 separate wifi systems. Blah. It's all jammed in a box, back to ammie. I tried all their support, but it tended to come down to a lot of flaky hardware.
I would just get the news from the web, but that's all protected. I liked the hockey highlights on utube, but by the time this works, it may not be necessary. We only need it for the news, and special events. blah.
So, I conclude this is not possible on the cheap. The really expensive boxes have weird networking requirements. I need a raspbi with a usb tv tuner, all running Linux. Not today.
