1. Are you able to access over the air channels in your location?

We have neither cable nor satellite. We get all major networks and tons of PBS over the air and for free. This satisfies most of our tv desires.

We have something similar to the ROKU for Netflix and had Hulu for awhile.

I don't feel like I am missing anything and wouldn't pay for cable even if I could get it.
