[QUOTE=Beau388;176063]There are simple electronic boxes the allow reception of over the air channels the can be recorded on a hard disk or SSD for later viewing. All that I know of require a coax or HDMI connection to the TV. Several have radio frequency remotes. You would need a box for each TV to watch separate channels simultaneously. To get signals from you house to the smart TV in your house you need a router and some cases an extender. The problem is how do you get signals from the cable TV box to the router. The easiest thing is to subscribe to DirecTV now or Hulu and watch what you want through your cellphone.


The Cable companies are losing too many customers so most allow you to stream (with internet connection) Live TV Channels and on Demand programs to your laptop or other mobile devices (tablets or Cell phones) when you are home or away on vacation.

If your cable company allows this (Spectrum, Comcast, Optimum Do) then you don't need to buy unnecessary gadgets or pay for other subscriptions.
