Roku, chrome cast, Amazon, or Apple?

We just got the new Apple TV mainly because we own iPhones, iPads and use iTunes. I'm not sure how it compares to the other options but the promise of numerous apps for Apple TV is interesting to me. Right now I doubt it has anything new to offer.

What kind of range for OTA channels? We live in the sticks, what are the chances we can pick up local channels out of Denver?

Quick search looks like none, not much chance of getting Mrs bo to agree to no local channels.

Buffalobo, did you find the map that shows where all the antennas are? There is a link in one of the other threads about cutting the cord.

I looked up Tablo and they had one on their site. Looks like we could get middle of the road reception on about 20 channels but none of the networks(CBS,ABC,NBC). A site about HD antennas projects Fox as a possibility.

That will not get it done for the wife.

An antenna site said we would get about 25. Paid about $130 for a good antennae and filter. It sucked. Had a cheap indoor flat panel for the gunroom. Got another one of those and now I get about 55 channels upstairs. The antennas are mostly on lookout Mountain. If you are within about 50 miles line of sight, you should be okay. If not, maybe a booster will help. But in my experience, the antenna sites are crap.

About 70 miles as the crow flies to Lookout Mtn.

We did have some success with antenna in our camp trailer while building house, but only in good atmospheric conditions. Cheap antenna with amp/booster. The $150 antenna was waste of money.
