Now that the super bowl is over, I've never been happier to cancel my YouTubeTV subscription.  You see, I adopted "live tv" streaming back with Playstation View when it was only $40/month.  It was everything I wanted when cutting the cord.  Got all my local channels (which is what I cared about at the time) + some sweeteners + cloud DVR.  Then it went away and enter YouTubeTV as the next option.  It started great at around ~$60/month (+/-).  Then $65, then $70, now my bill is $85+ and of course it will keep going up.  The only thing that is watched on our TV (that isn't netflix/prime or a service) is NFL football.

I tried a powered HD antenna.  I located all the antennas using a web site (I'm in Rock Hill, so they're all north of course).  I put the antenna on a window facing North.  But the stations were just outside of a reliable range.  I can pick the channels up, but they digitally stutter and go in and out.  I'd imagine if I was 5-7 miles more north, I'd be golden.

With that context, what's the most cost-effective way to watch the panthers games and post-season next year?  I am fine watching via Ipad and earbuds.  I'm also fine using one of our stand alone Rokus and watching on our tv.  My very quick research led me to the NFL+ app as a good option.

What say you?  Thanks!

i'm northwest of winston salem and i don't have any problem watching them on antenna. i had paramount tv so i could watch the CBS games on that, but fox came through with no problems. CBS was good enough on antenna.

I live in the Mooresville area. I have a small version of the old style metal antennae in the attic. The window mounted things are not great from where I'm at. I live in a grove of trees but with the antennae in the attic I get all the local channels to supplement the streaming services we have.

I've thought about exploring that.  My lot has a similar issue.  I'm in the lowest part of the caul-de-sac surrounded by trees on my north..which also means all my neighbors runoff travels through my yard.  Ugh, but that's another post in off topic.

I would get a large powered outdoor antenna and run coax into the house. I’m pretty happy with mine, I get local weather and sports when I need it. 

Thankfully I have a walkable crawl space and have run ethernet under there to ports in the house.  I could likely just follow that path.  Good thought, thanks.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.

      I'd think we could get one of those from Dallas for... whatever.
