Any cord cutters in Mobile? Planning for football season and we are cutting the cord and switching to Sling TV + HD antenna.

Only issue is that our local Fox affiliate uses old antennas and we can't get fox, hence potential to not pick up Saints games at the house this fall.

Any ways to stream local Fox channel aside through an antenna? Is there an app or a separate way to stream Saints games?

Worst case I'll be spending Sunday afternoons at a bar.

I'm not cutting the cord yet but thinking about it. Honestly the local fox network is one of the reasons why I haven't yet. I don't know anyone that has good luck picking up that channel on an antenna. We're likely moving to Spanish fort next year so I might revisit the idea there.

Which internet are you going with?

I'm using ustv now to get abc,cbs,cw,fox,nbc. I'm cutting the cord and using this program to get cbs. Granted, it won't be local channels but you could possibly pick up the games you want to watch.

I have had Xfinity Wifi in my house in Midtown and have had good internet service through it. It's a tad pricey but I use it for work too and depend on it for reliability first and price second.

Thanks! What is USTVNow? Military service? Can non military citizens use it?

yes, to both questions. I'm cutting the cord next month and the ony thing holding me back was watching the sec cbs game of the week.

I use the free plan

This plan lets you receive all major US terrestrial stations (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC, PBS). You can later upgrade to a paid plan with more channels and DVR.

No issues with location?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

The stations aren't local but should pick up the national broadcast of the games. SEC(CBS) Sunday Night Football (NBC)

I'm not sure about picking up the nfl games that you want to watch...

I mean do I need to change my location when I sign up to anywhere other than the US. I didn't know if they had stipulations about that.

I made an account and I can't get any of the channels to work.

I can get WALA Fox 10 OTA in Gulf Shores using an antenna in the attic with a Channel Master CM-7777 Titan 2 amplifier. It's a VHF channel. I bought the amp from Amazon warehouse used open box return for $45.

Can you even cut the cord down here? My internet is so unreliable.
