[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t forget you’ll still need internet for streaming if you’re cancelling Xfinity. I don’t know how it works with an antenna.  [/quote]

Unless you have wireless internet (which, along with satellite sources, does exist) the internet comes to your house via physical cable (typically either coax, copper phone line, or fiberoptic). The antenna cable is physically connected to your TV. If you have more than one TV, you need multiple antennas or splitters (where I live, I need a rooftop antenna, have 2 TVs, use a splitter). Antenna picks up wireless TV signals (how TV was accessed prior to cable). Even if you have wireless internet, it does not come through the TV antenna.

Also, when using antenna, you may want to channel scan frequently, as reception can vary considerably through the seasons (tree leaves mess with signals) and weather such as fog, drizzle, rain (which was NEVER a problem before digital TV--if anything, you could get more stations when the weather got weird).
