 Am>> I currently use Youtube TV as my primary service, but they are raising
 Am>> prices.

 Am>> So wondering what others are using. I selected them years ago for the
 Am>> live tv, and local channels (abc,nbc,cbs).

 Ni> I'm in an area where I can get those channels over the air with a TV
 Ni> antenna.  And I use a HDHomerun network-attached TV tuner, which can
 Ni> stream TV channels to my various devices with their app; I also have a
 Ni> Plex media server on a dedicated PC which is configured to use that TV
 Ni> tuner - Plex can stream the live TV channels as well. I have an internal
 Ni> PCI Express TV tuner in my Plex PC (which I bought before I found out
 Ni> about the HDHomerun, which is a stand-alone device).  Both the HDHomerun
 Ni> and Plex can also act as a DVR.

I use plex, but have not looked into tuners before. I had never heard of HDHomerun before regoining the BBS scene. I'll have to do some research and see how these work and their costs.  I new plex could use a tuner, but have never had a computer with space for an actual add-on tuner card. 

 Ni> Aside from the streaming options available with the setup, I think another
 Ni> nice thing is that the antenna and everything can be set up in a central
 Ni> place, so I don't need to attach antennas to my TVs.  I currently live in
 Ni> an apartment, but if I had a house, I'd consider mounting a TV antenna on
 Ni> the outside near the roof, like people did in the old days.
Haven't had much luck with indoor HD antenna's , I actually have a tower erected at both of my houses. But would be a pain to run cable into house from outside; would prefer a indoor solution. I was using one of the flat HD anntennas when testing in the house.
