I have an antenna in my main room and then for the other TV's I just hooked up a coax cable to them and they pull your basic abc/nbc/fox etc channels through the internet hookup.

I also have a friends WatchESPN information to access those games. CBS usually streams their games with fantastic quality and doesn't require any sort of login.

And then for those like me who don't care as much about insane quality there are other streaming sties available that have games if I can't find something with the above options.

So the antenna will get you the HD games, like all the NFL games that come on Fox and CBS and NBC over the air right? If I wanted NFL Network or SEC Network or MLB Network or Golf Channel I'm SOL without cable?

I could almost justify that. I really don't watch much TV I pay for...I really only watch sports, MLB Network, and the movie channels. I could get down with making this switch.

The only thing that worries me is maybe not having Disney Jr. stuff for my little girl.

they have a Disney and DisneyJr app just like the watchESPN app

you just need someone's login

but even without that, there are so many kid's shows on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu

yeah pretty much, the over the air stuff will come through in HD, but not the channels the TVs I have hooked up via Coax.

The games that are on those channels (NFL network etc) I usually find with no problems on alternative streaming sites (install ad-block) but 95% of the time I'm at home I'm near my computer so I just set up the games to view on my second monitor while I'm gaming or something. Quality is usually better streaming on my PC than accessing those same sites on my roku.

and as Salmon stated, Disney has a channel that can be accessed w/ a cable login if you have access to one.
