A new antenna, or streaming local channels?

I no longer have a TV antenna.

Well, I do, but I don't. It's complicated.

I sold my portion of my mother's house. Two of my sisters and I owned it, and another piece of property. I've traded by portion of the house for their portions of the nearby property. They own the house. And that's where the antenna was.

I don't have an antenna at my house. I bought an antenna and installed it at my mother's, and using Tablo Connect, was able to watch TV via the antenna that way. But now, I no longer own the house (or a portion of it) and I'm not going to take the antenna with me. They can have it.

But that does leave me with no TV antenna. So, what do I do about it?

Well, I have a few options:

1. One is simply do without. I could go that route. I don't watch a lot of local (Savannah is the closest market) TV. Well, not live. I watch some broadcast TV content via Hulu. That's next day viewing, which is fine most of the time. Heck, all of the time. Unless it's a live sporting event (that means college football).
2. Another option is to get an antenna. I actually have one. It's an okay one, not a really good one like I got for my mother's house. When I put up the antenna at my mother's house, I bought an Air TV device that included an antenna. Not an indoor antenna, but an actual outdoor antenna. And it worked pretty well. I got most of the channels. Most is not all. The really good one I bought and had installed picked up everything. I don't have one of those. Still, the one I have is pretty good. And according to AntennaWeb, I should be able to pick things up a little better at home than at my mother's house, because of the terrain. I'm about two miles closer to the towers, but the elevation and terrain makes enough of a difference.
3. Another option is to get a live streaming service. I'm not doing that. The cheapest platform that picks up ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC is Hulu+Live TV, and that's $70/month. And it's about to go up 10%. The next cheapest is YouTube TV at $73/month. So no, I'm not doing that.
4. A final option is to mix the first and third. Paramount Plus $12/month plan would get me live local CBS. Peacock TV $12/month plan would get me live local NBC. And $24 is less than $70. It gets me two of the four local stations, along with some other content that is pretty good.

What will I do? Well, I just don't know. Right now, I'm doing the first option: I'm doing without. And that's what I'll do until I decide. I really have until football season (a couple of weeks, maybe) to decide.

My Streaming Life has been just fine with an antenna, but now I need to decide about putting up another. I'm kind of leaning that way, meaning I may go with option four (CBS has SEC football) until I get around to option two. Hulu gets me everything except sports, and if I have to spend a little bit of money to get the sports I want, I'm saving enough money by streaming other content that it won't be that much of a problem.
