High Def Antennas

theres a handful of good b’cast TV shows
But, Netflix really is the answer for modest and/or discerning media needs, if you’re willing to pay $9 or $14 a month for the selection.

Measure your attic space, too

Antennas can be rather large and you may be limited by the space available. Attic mounting reduces the range of the antenna somewhat, due to the filtering affect of the roofing materials, so you may want to go a bit bigger than the suggested size. Also, you can't use an attic-mounted antenna if you have a metal roof.

Get a signal amplifier and rotor, too.

As I mentioned above, buy high-quality cabling materials (commercial grade, not gold-plated "gimmick" stuff) and the tools to install the compression connectors, or have a professional installer do it for you.

Remember, this is a one-shot deal that will pay for itself in a few months compared to the cost of cable.
