Thanks, going to look into this. We user Firesticks now but every time we turn it on, it plays a damn ad.

Absolutely the best anywhere (at least that I've found). Curious...do you pay or do you use free?

Just wanted to add that I picked up an open box ONN Google TV box (2023) at Walmart for $15.
Am really impressed with it. I installed Projectivity Launcher and SmartTube on it and remapped the buttons with button mapper (all free) and it's quick through menus and fast to load apps - and all bloat free.
It is what it is - lacks Dolby Atmos, etc but is HDR and as far as my hands on goes you can't beat it for a Google certified entry level box.

Can't say enough about Projectivity Launcher. Can include the best of Google TV without the ads/purchase options. Clean, fast, free, available in play store, fabulous.

Spoiler!

I bought one, but it's still in the box

Definitely try Projectivity when you hook it up one day. I have one other CCwGTV on a spare room TV that I'll add it to as well.

In the process of finally cutting the cord at the moment. I picked up a Philips digital antenna and it picks up CBC, CTV and CityTV nicely (don't care about the last one) but not Global. Any tips? Would an added amplifier be guaranteed to pick it up? Or is it just a matter of playing around with the rabbit ears? Any particular direction to point the rabbit ears to?

Positioning will be important, but it's probably more a matter of just trying different locations with the unit itself, and the rabbit ears.
Big advantage here 'near' major US city. Have the Tablo 4th gen tuner/DVR and get over 170 channels (with small outdoor antenna in attic) , though I have deleted/hid almost half of them.

Hope you find a spot that works. A bit better antenna might be better than a booster. Hard to say. Good luck!

TVFool has a guide to picking up stations. What part of the city are you in? You should be getting Global.

I've come across that site in my googling but it weirdly times out every time for me.

I'm in Canyon Meadows.

Can try rabbitears.info or antennaweb.org may help you out. Good luck
