I wish I could. I don't have a great signal unless I mount an antenna in my window and run the cable along the wall, it'd be ugly.

Have you considered getting a portable tv that receives traditional digital tv signal? You could put it on a table in front of the window.

Nobody wants to sit in the kitchen watching a portable TV outside of the 1990s.

That's nfine but you're mising out, traditional over the air digital tv is free and you can find neat stuff on it and even though they're rare, you could even find a pirate tv station.

I do, on occasion, in the one bedroom where I don't have a cable box. It's either "rabbit ears" or a first-generation Roku in there. The Roku can get more different things, but the immediacy of just firing up the digital TV receiver and flipping channels is appealing, particularly when I am falling asleep.

I have a rabbit ears antenna too! Though I mostly listen to over-the air analog radio, a lot of my tv comes from my "bunny ears" antenna. How many channels do you get? I get 3, four if you count both channels becuse one of them is a traditional digital multiplex.

I get around 10-12 channels reliably. Most of them are multiplexed

When I was a kid that was the only way to watch it.

Thouse were better days for television.
