Hello out there!

Thanks for you attention on this. I live in a remote location and the Internet connection is very poor. Would a directional antenna help in getting OTA channels? Here's a link to my TV Fool report:

Many thanks,

If that location is accurate, call a satellite company.

You don't have any hope of getting OTA channels reliably 100% of the time with that report. It's possible to get some, but you could spend $100's getting the largest outdoor antenna and system installed, and you'd still likely not get even a single channel 24x7.

I agree with ADtech. Call Dish Network or Directv

Thanks for the swift replies - would an FTA satellite dish work?

That would depend on your view of the sky.
