The channels you’ll be able to watch vary based on the area where you live and where your antenna is placed. Should you still pay for cable and have a digital set-top box from your provider, you’ll also be able to feed the connect through your HDHomeRun tuner. Just about any OTA antenna will do the trick here though. Content is just as high-quality as your average cable stream, so no complaints on that end. I’ve personally been using Monoprice’s 65-inch Outdoor Antenna with pretty successful results. To pair with the HDHomeRun tuner of your choice, you’ll also need an OTA HDTV Antenna. This box allows you to convert a coaxial connection into a digital signal that can be watched on your smartphone and other devices. There are a variety of models on the market that offer anywhere from one to five tuners. I’ve found the HDHomeRun Connect Duo to be a great option, with its two built-in tuners allowing you to record two programs at once or watch live on multiple devices. The core piece of technology here is going to be an HDHomeRun tuner. You’ll also need to pick up some hardware to bring your new cord-cutting setup to life. It’s fairly easy to get set up, but if you get stuck check out this handy step-by-step guide. One of the great things about Plex is that it can be run on everything from an old computer you have lying around to devices like the NVIDIA SHIELD TV.

To get started you’ll need to install Plex Media Server onto a compatible device.

It works with everything from your Apple TV and iPhone to Roku, Fire TV and just about any other connected device. I’ve been relying on the software for the past few years, which has made living without consistent access to a cable TV subscription barely an inconvenience. In the past we’ve touched on how powerful of a home media server Plex is.
