Today I should be getting the ClearStream 2v antenna. Supposed to be pretty good. Not too fond of other antennas I've tried. If this new antenna works well then I think I'll get a Tablo.


Upfront cost of cutting the cord isn't cheap if you try to replicate what you used to get. But the monthly price after will pay for itself shortly.


So far, my shopping list as well as expected purchases will include:

Antenna: 90.00. Tablo: 200. Fire tv box 85.00. (2) Fire sticks with voice remote 100.00 plus a 30.00/ month subscription to PlayStation Vue. Upfront cost of close to 500. But only paying 30 a month if it all works out. My Dish bill is about to go up to 130 plus the taxes. And that is after I downgraded to a lesser programming package. So I guess you can add another 240 for cancellation fee. But still way less than I'd pay if I carried out the contract.


To my surprise fire tv has the Tablo app. So I should be able to run my antenna straight to a Tablo (connected to my router) then watch OTA locals from the app on Fire tv. Pretty slick if I'm understanding it all right.
