I live near downtown Cary and have a Mohu Leaf antenna, quad shielded coax
from Home Depot with a couple of ferrite beads from Radio Shack. I use a

an external hard drive to record.

          Streaming hardware:

Roku streaming stick

          Streaming content:

Sling TV for cable like live TV programming (not on demand). Netflix for
movies and Hulu Plus for TV.
