When it comes to watching network channels like NBC without cable, I typically recommend using a digital antenna. However, not everyone can use an antenna. Furthermore, some folks would rather not want to deal with the hassle of getting an antenna up and running. Perhaps, you have an antenna but can’t get NBC.
