Just remember that any "TV" that you hook to the Internet *will* be sending every detail of what you watch, when you watch it and potentially more back to it's maker and they will sell that data to anyone willing to pay for it.

You can use antennaweb to see what OTA stations are receivable in your area:

https://www.antennaweb.org/

A simple $50 antenna and possibly a pre-amp if you have a long coax run is all you need to receive them.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BMD87BRN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You may find from antennaweb that there are stations in different directions, in which case I suggest you pick the direction with the most / best options and forget about the rest and watch less TV so you live longer.

Here it happens that there are basically two towers within range that are only a few miles apart so I just aim the antenna between them and get strong signal from both. This gives Granny about 10 DTV channels / sub-channels which is plenty of brain rot for her and she still spends much of the day outside in the fresh air and real world.

We (my wife, kids and I) don't watch any TV at all. We only watch a handful of "channels" on youtube for specific interests and educational programming, Smarter Every Day, Dr. Binocs, Science Max, Abom79, Western Truck and Tractor Repair, etc.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father ... [Read Article]
