There are converter boxes available that will record OTA TV for less than $30. The ones I have work fairly well once you figure them out. They all seem to be using the same software. You can search Amazon for "TV converter box" and will find a bunch of them.
Here's one that I'm tempted to purchase: Digital converter box.

I purchased one of these and unfortunately it uses the same crappy software. I like the hardware though. The converter is very small and can be placed out of sight.

There are also apps you can install on your phone that will give you a map and compass display on where to point your antenna, provided there is something within range of your location,

Bad fire season.

Over the Air Television has pretty much gone the way of AM Radio in Canada!
For years we have had Satellite service as our source of TV Programming! We tried Bell way back and it did function fairly well until they started aiming the signal to select markets. Which led us to Star Choice which later became Shaw Direct. This still works pretty well across Canada and if that’s where you are give it a try!

About few years ago a new player appeared called Starlink which has been steadily evolving and is now available at a reasonable price . We switched almost exclusively to streaming TV and having full internet Services on an easy to setup system.

In my opinion Star Link is the way to go. Not only because it works but also because it work’s virtually everywhere we travel in North America!
