Can I use a home antenna to receive streaming services?

Home antennas are primarily designed to capture over-the-air broadcast signals for television programming, allowing users to receive channels such as local news, sports, and entertainment without the need for a cable subscription. They work by picking up signals transmitted by nearby television stations. However, home antennas do not provide access to streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu, as these services typically require an internet connection for streaming content. For those interested in streaming services, it is essential to have a reliable internet connection, either through a broadband provider or cellular data. While a home antenna can complement streaming services by providing free access to broadcast television content, it cannot directly facilitate the streaming of online content. Those looking for a seamless viewing experience often use both options in conjunction, with an antenna for live broadcast programming and a separate internet service for streaming.
