There are many youtube videos that show you how to do it.It is very simple.Did you download Kodi on your firestick? That's how you get all the free channels and movies.

you can get 75 high def channels on an antenna? I didn't even know you could get high def on an antennaWell this weekend I got a small antenna that I ordered through Amazon.
View TV VT-366 Digital.
I hooked it up in my attic and pointed it south.
As I'm North of Fort Worth.
75 channels. All great quality on the TV - better than Dish.
My friend lent me his old Fire Stick and I got all the movies also.
So goodbye Dish at $100 per month.
Antenna was under $50.
Upgraded fire stick is about $95.
Great deal.

Fire stick is good cause it's free once you got it all set up.
But if you have a Roku you can add the Machtv channel which is about $20 a month but you get all the live cable channels and premium channels like :
espn's, NFL Sunday ticket, MLB, NBA league pass, NHL ,HBO, Showtime, PPV, etc...
It also has movies and tv shows on demand.
For $20 is not bad.
Or you can get a Mag 254 box with an iptv set up which is almost the same thing as the Roku with Machtv installed.
It's like kodi, you can probably find more info on a YouTube search.Is the Machtv channel legitimate or is it like Kodi?

Do yourself a favor and spring for the 11.99 for commercial free Hulu and Netflix......If you don't you'll see the same commercial over and over and over again. Worth the extra 4 bucks a month.Congrats on the change! I just cut the cord with Spectrum yesterday...cancelled my cable/internet/phone bundle for internet only. I ended up paying almost exactly what you did for internet, just under $58 monthly including taxes.
That, an antenna for local channels and a Firestick is my setup for the moment. It'll save me about $100-120 per month, depending on which streaming services I stick with after trying them out.
It's nice that Hulu, Sling TV, etc., almost all have a free trial period. I'm in Hulu's free trial at the moment and am leaning to keeping it. It's cheap at $7.99 per month.
so cutting the cable but not really the cord? That's the catch 22 I find myself in here in the NY area where endless regulations you'd expect in these parts minimize competition and therefore options. I'm paying close to $200/mnth for cable/internet/phone where I haven't used a landline in close to 10 years. If I were to go with just an internet service, the savings would be minimal and wouldn't justify the loss of convenience. It's frustrating.
Recently bougt a 4k TV that has chromecast built-in and comes with a bunch of apps and ps4 games. Looking to cut DirectTV. Perfect timing for this thread.
