Can anyone recommend an HD antenna to be used at an LSU tailgate?

Asking for a friend. He is looking to get Starlink Mini (mainly for ESPN games and iphone use) or use an HD antenna to get the games on ABC/CBS/FOX/NBC.
Anyone have experience with either and can recommend a reliable HD antenna?
And any of you using Starlink at their tailgate? Curious about your experience with it.
Thanks in advance.

They're less tham $30 on Amazon. Real easy to use.

Starling works really well. Better than our satellite.

it is a digital signal now so any advertised antenna is going to work for over the air channels. For streaming a hotspot may work, as the cellular signal around campus has worked very well on AT&T. I've heard there was an additional cell tower added recently, not sure if true but something has improved on campus.

Does Starlink work under the big oak trees?

FYI, Verizon was hot garbage for Clemson tailgate after about 1pm.

Starlink works really well for me. I have the mini and run wifi inside and outside of my 3 bdr home. I have a tv on the back deck.
Easy setup and app helps you point it.

In this day and age, why not just buy a $40 Amazon fire stick and tether it to your phone’s hot spot

We upgraded to starlink last year. We couldn't be happier. Running two 55 inch TVs with YouTube TV. Works great for our spot by the Indian Mounds.

You can pause service, but Starlink still charges a monthly fee (used to be $5, then they upped it to $10 during the year). It's called standby mode and would still work in the event of you needing it.
