Have any of you found away to stream IPTV or your local PBS broadcast station? I have done a web search on this and found a couple of links that say they can do this but I didn't get it to work. If you have Thanks in advance for any info.

I don't think a direct live stream is available, but most of the shows & programming can be viewed via the PBS Video & PBS Kids apps.

The OTA antennas work very well within a 20/30 mile range. Amazon has quite a few for under $20. They work well and they are plastic and you can attach them to the wall in the proper direction with pushpins or duct tape.....

You would need one for every tv you would need to watch PBS.....

The signal is as good as cable/streaming in HD.....

The Amazon Basic tv antenna gets top reviews from TechRadar

I know about OTA antennas and em wave broadcasting especially being plenty old enuf to use it for several decades


we live 20 plus miles from the towers north of des moines but just north of the airport. our house also has copper pipes in the attic for radiant heat system. the main TV store in the area says that is a hard are a to use an indoor antenna.

I have bought the so called 40 mile antennas and added a signal booster. this setup is not reliable for OTA in our area. the signal can be very good for hours but most often poor or no signal.

yes we stream other network tv via you tube tv and we have access to PBS passport so we can see most shows but nice to see them when broadcast.

next step is outdoor antenna test and thanks for info.
