We cut the cable cord several years ago, and I just updated my antenna config in 2019. I've got a high gain UHF antenna pointed towards the Boston towers 40 miles South of me where most of the major stations are, and a VHF antenna covering some New Hampshire stations. I do have a signal amplifier, and use a HDHomeRun networked tuner.

I receive a total of 69 channels (including sub-channels) of which about 48-50 are consistently solid all year-round. The others on the fringe are hit or miss, usually better in winter than summer because I'm surrounded by tall trees and there's loss through the foliage in the summer. While that's an impressive number of OTA channels, there's a fair amount of content duplication and some shopping channels.

My wife uses Peacock and I use some free Roku channels. It's all the TV we need.
