My kids have all cancelled their cable services. They use roku on the big tv and get everything they need. The small tv in the guest rooms (where I stay when I visit) are connected to a small antenna. One uses the one you are speaking about, but she lives in a major city and has strong signals. Another lives a bit out of the city so she has her spare tv attached to an outside the window antenna. BTW - with the Roku, we all get everything because you can add extra users with services. One of us pays for netflix, one pays for amazon, one pays for Hulu and since I have HBO, they can all use HBO go on their sets. And the amazon prime membership, it also allows all of us to purchase items with the free shipping. We just got tired of paying $150+ a month for 200 channels of which we only watched a couple dozen. Now we pay under $25 a month each and see everything we want and lots of movie options. Only problem is that some can't be viewed until the following day - no big deal.
