Connect it to your entertainment system via the HDMI. Now your PC holds your music, plays radio stations, plays and records live television and can watch YouTube directly from that device. For the Roku, get the free channels and Amazon prime. Everything else is pretty much crap.
Then get a subscription to dvd.com which is the original Netflix where they mail you a latest running movie on DVD.
great info Midpack and Tellurium - well, everyone really
will that work in apartments where dishes are not allowed?
The only way to know for sure is try it, but there are several good sources that will predict the odds if you enter your exact address. Here's just one AntennaWeb.org
Sure, it's not something you hang outside, it can be something you hang inside on your wall.
Actually the best ones (longer range, more channels) do go outside, but if the OP is in a major metro area as it appears, one of the better inside antennas should provide good results, lots of channels.

Not that I encourage signing up for satellite TV but I think it's federal law that you can't be prohibited from installing a dish. Even when HOAs have tried to prevent it they've lost.

IIRC apartments and leased houses can prohibit installation because it's not the renters property and they don't want the liability of structural damage or any accidents incurred during installation or maintenance . Kind of like how you can't repaint a rented property without permission.
I've got fiber with at&t recently and cancelled my services with Time Warner. I have Hulu and Netflix. But I want something to act almost like cable. I don't watch too much tv so I don't want the best thing out there. I am considering things like Roku and Apple TV, just not sure how they work. Do I buy the channels for the ones I want? And if I buy three of them, will all devices access the same services and channels bought? I don't want direct tv even though they're with at&t. Any advice and information will be appreciated.
There is also a facebook group with name for real time info. Cord Cutters Tech Support group name on Facebook.

The last apartment I lived in had a provision in the lease stating you could not have a dish. Even if that provision was illegal I would not do battle with a landlord over something like that.
