All I want to watch live is sports and from what people tell me is that there are a number of devices (Roku types) that will allow you to stream from ESPN and what not. The wife watches TV shows recorded on the DVR but it seems you can watch all of those pretty much the minute after it airs with some of these devices.
I'm tired of spending over $160.00 a month on worthless TV and internet when I can upgrade the internet for a few extra dollars a month and stream everything live.
Has anyone gone this route and have any input or suggestions on what the best way to do this is?
Thanks!

I miss a few things but they're available on the Net.
Here's an DTV engineering tool from the FCC to see signal strength at a certain Lat Long or Zip Code.
The Digital TV Transition: Reception Maps
I've found their measuring software to be very conservative. With a high gain antenna the red X Stations are doable. This option used to be live searchable.

If you see a small Green Dot on the map that's a ground verified and strength measured signal report.
