These apply, if you're local:

I have tried Sling, Fubo, Hulu TV and Youtube TV.

Hulu TV just sucks because you are forced to watch ads if you fast forward through a recorded game and the interface sucks.

Sling and Fubo are okay. Fubo is under contract negotiations with NBC Sports Chicago (or whatever the hell it is) so they don't have any games right now. That's why I quit them.

YouTube TV has been the best. You get NBC Sports Chicago, NBC Sports Chicago Plus, ABC7, and ESPN. This covers a large majority of the games. The drawback is that YouTube TV was a competitor to Amazon, so there is no YouTube TV app to download on an Amazon device, if you use that to stream. That will change later this year when Amazon will allow YouTube apps again on their devices. If you have a Smart TV, this is not an issue, since you can download the YouTube TV app through your TV. You can also use Chromecast to stream YouTube TV to your TV (from cell phone or whatever. You'll still need to install the YouTube TV app on that device).

You can watch games over the air on WGN if you buy an HDTV antenna, similar to this one. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Indoor-Flat-TV-Antenna/dp/B075ZQXB26/ref=sxin_3_pb?crid=1VMC8FTPF4EIJ&keywords=hdtv+antenna&pd_rd_i=B075ZQXB26&pd_rd_r=ad9ad32c-d0c6-44cb-9688-7aaef85a2c84&pd_rd_w=hveq7&pd_rd_wg=obJQq&pf_rd_p=9ef0c97a-254b-445c-822b-c948e2d94ddd&pf_rd_r=ETJ3X8YJ6JNVD4MZSXP0&qid=1561482535&s=gateway&sprefix=hdtv+%2Caps%2C366

Sure! God I feel like such an influencer! Now I’m drunk on either influencer power or Trader Joe’s Shiraz ($2.99/bottle, baby), definitely one of the two. LOOK AT ME SHILL.

Here’s a link to the one my friend has/the one I bought the second everyone left last night: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B075ZQXB26/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_X85jEbN61Y55X

ok your TV Fool report is innacurate

try your www.Rabbitears.info Report

https://www.rabbitears.info/search.php?request=zip_search&zipcode=83814&miles=60&address=&lat=47.6719353&lon=-116.7076758&sorting=signal&dbtype=dBm&height=25

based on your rabbitears report

if you are not in a valley or have a large hill or mountain between you and the broadcast towers located 4 miles away at 345deg true... not magnetic..

then you should install a large yagi antenna

the problem I see is that all of the towers out of COEUR D'ALENE are pointing west and southwest

If you are east of those towers then reception could be bad

If you are west of those towers you could have really great reception.

This is where your towers are

they are on the red and the white building

https://www.google.com/maps/place/47%C2%B043'53.6%22N+116%C2%B043'50.6%22W/@47.7318105,-116.7309221,306m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d47.731556!4d-116.730722

find your home relative to those towers...

the antennas on those towers are pointing west and southwest

if you are near and to the west.. then try a small tv antenna on your tv

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Indoor-Flat-TV-Antenna/dp/B075ZQXB26

if you are to the east or the north

you will need a large tv antenna and possibly an amp

and you will want to get the antenna as high as you can on your roof

https://www.amazon.com/Winegard-HD8200U-Platinum-Ultra-HD-High-VHF/dp/B001DFS4BI

however if you are only 4 miles away... give the amazon basic antenna a try

these maps and technical data are often wrong for many reasons

if you are 4 miles away and not in a valley or even in a valley crap give the $10 antenna a try you might get everything and not have to climb on your roof

I got that one. That’s the one my friend has that we used and it worked great. Mine came in but I haven’t hooked it up yet.
