You can typically get bunny ears to work. That’s what we’ve done the past couple of years but can get spotty under tree coverage and if you don’t have a way to elevate it.

Just upgraded to this one and no problems so far. Onn Outdoor Antenna

I just purchased one from Best Buy. $34.99 and works like a charm.

Brand: Insignia
Indoor HDTV Antenna
60 mile range
Amplified
Plenty of range to pick up ABC.

It doesn’t have to be a HD antenna. Regular rabbit ears work.

can recommend a reliable HD antenna?



HD antenna is a misnomer. HD is typically broadcast on high VHF and UHF frequencies.

I have this one in my attic, and it works fairly well. Can pick up BR from Lafayette. But it is somewhat directional.

I actually picked mine up at Walmart.

Dish network has an incredible tailgate package if he’s interested. It’s pay as you go too, not. A yearly contract.

Used it a few years ago at a company tailgate and it was awesome.

We use this at our tailgate and can catch all network stations. Easy to setup. Bought at WallyWorld also.

I have a Starlink mini. Its actually pretty affordable if you buy it through Starlink and it works very well as long as it has a clear view of the sky.

I also have clear stream. Can use their website and see which one they recommend based on where the broadcast and where you are watching.

For the first time ever, I had excellent T-Mobile cell service throughout the game. We use T-Mobile's 5g home internet for our RV travels, and it's great assuming adequate cell service. We pay $35/mo for it, and it's a very simple and fast setup.
