Canceled Dir Tv
I finally just canceled my Dir Tv subscription, but was able to keep all the equipment. First, am I able to get the local channels now w o having to buy a certain/diff type of antenna?
Second, I'm eventually going to be hooking up a firestick type of service...shall I just keep the Dir Tv box connected as an antenna and/or just for a an easier transition?

Nope, the DTV receivers will become bricks.

Ok thx all. I'd have to check the model of the box, but they told me directly and by mail as well to just recycle the only one I have.
How about the white cable wire they installed that now stays in the house....is that beneficial in any way? Such as my first question in trying to atleast get the local channels for the time being? (Or can I possibly get those even w o that cable?)

You own it and you maybe able to connect it to an OTA antenna and the digital tuner on the TV to get your local channels or another cable provider can use it.

Ok yeah...I was reading about that. Knowing all along it was prob too good to be true that I didn't need any other equipment these days just to get the local channels.
I am super old-school, but even I know the days of just the bunny ears are long gone...and apparently even just plugging in my smart tv w + a cable wire. 😞

While rabbit ears may work they have been replaced with these www.amazon.com/s?k=flat+antenna+tv+digital+hd+indoor&crid=2Q6ZPWKWHT62P&sprefix=flat++antenna+indoor%2Caps%2C148&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_19
