I'm in eastern Monmouth County. The commute's a pain from there, but as the crow flies, it's not that far from the city. I can drive 20 minutes to Sandy Hook and see One WTC.
You might prob get about 40 stations from a small flexible sheet like size of 8 X 11 or similar I just draped one over a curtain rod in a window.
If you can scan channel 3 which is digital 33 there are 13 subchannels including several radio stations etc.
But you should get the other networks too.
Optimum has a $20 per month internet package (you will need to fight for this, they don't like to sell this), which I have and its perfect for multiple streaming tv's and computers going on at the same time. AT&T Now (just changed names from DirectTV Now last week) lets you stream and DVR just about every cable channel for $40 a month with no contract and takes about 5 minutes to set up. Total internet TV & Cable is $60 a month and can cancel anytime.
wow - optimum told me there cheapest internet plan was $45 a month - need to find out about the $20 plan - thanks
and $60 is very good for both TV and internet - optimum was 66$ but VERY basic and verizon was $104
The Phase 5 repack does not affect any NYC stations. The NYC stations moved back on August 2nd as part of Phase 4. The only NYC station that is left to move is WNET-13 which is part of phase 9 that will be completed in May of next year.
The kids here were paying the cable bill and didn't watch much TV, we dumped cable, kept internet. I had an antenna already mounted outside on a wooden stick, Southern Union County. Yep all 71 TV channels, solid. Note 6 of those are radio stations on TV subcarriers so its really about 65 TV channels, all the broadcast networks, and all the stuff we ever watch anyway. The antenna was even pointed down and sideways but works totally fine. Knocked about $100 monthly off the bill.
The antenna cost maybe $5 or $10 at a computer store up North. Its attached out the 2nd floor although could go higher, we just dont need to and there are large trees in the way.
I also discovered 'locast' on Roku - which give about 15 channels via stream - all obviously clear. Including nbc, cbs, fox, abc and pbs which is what i wanted. So this is a good, easy and cheap alternative if the antenna option doesn't work (which for me it didn't)
