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.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
