Waco Area and yeah I got an antenna that should be plenty strong enough but it won't work

Have you tried re scanning for channels? Stations that are ota have been changing a lot in recent years and sometimes you need to rescan just to find the channel again.

if you are able to get the other networks from your antenna you should be able to get nbc. Your tv should also have a signal meter telling you the strength of the signal.

So I don't have cable was wondering if I can watch the Cowboys SNF games on Peacock streaming? I tried just getting an antenna last year but only can get FOX and ABC. I know can watch CBS games on what was the CBS streaming now Paramount so that why was wondering if Peacock was the same. Another thing do you know if there is a way to watch MNF on ESPN plus?
If you have the internet. Use DAZN. Every single game and red zone for 20 a month

Thanks.

There are devices to hook your iPad up so it mirrors what’s on the iPad. They’re like 30-40$.
But you do have to have WiFi for that to work. I know that because I live pretty far out so we don’t have internet available here (I refuse to do the Hughes satellite). So we get all of our Internet just on cellular data on our iPads (unlimited plans).

Anyway, I tried using the Google Chromecast on the TV to mirror it and, as it turns out, you need a WiFi hookup in order to mirror the screen.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I couldn’t find a way to get it working without WiFi.

This device displays whatever is on your phone/iPad on the tv. Just plug it up to your phone then an HDMI cable to the tv. And you’ll need a power source there too to charge your device because it will lose power fast.

Just get YoutubeTV. You can stream their cable service right onto any device wherever you are. Will cost about $70/month


Pretty sure you have me on ignore...but just wanted to say (for others) we dropped cable and use youtubeTV. We like it....but it is local TV. Every now and then you get some extra games.

Plenty of sites where you can stream any game for free on the internet. The European sites aren't blocked. I use a burner computer and stream them just in case it gets a virus. Been working for years that way.
Using my "burner" phone....I tried some "free" streaming sites last year...not only PITA to weave through...but spammed the shirt out of me.

Used what people suggested here. Sucked.

I think the Fox broadcast tower is probably in a different location. Agree with others you can probably tweak your antenna and pick it up. Might have to install and old school rotar on your antenna so you can remotely move the antenna to pick up the Fox location.

If the towers aren't in the same location you will definitely need to rotate the antenna. the antenna has to be pointed pretty precisely to receive modern signals. Not like the old days where you could kinda sorta point in the right direction. Also, if your antenna can be wiggled by the wind you will not get consistent reception. So, you may need guy wires to stabilize. One last thing, if there is a cell tower nearby or relatively nearby but in line with the tv tower it can interfere. You may need to put a "filter" on your line at the antenna.
