I've tried most of the solutions over the years and have finally found my ideal solution for streaming my local OTA channels (28 channels in central MA) to my island house which has DSL.

I have an large antenna in my attic in my MA home that I installed 30 years ago and am using a 4-channel DVR from Tablo which I'm finding is pretty much flawless in operation. I can record up to 4 channels simultaneously and play everything on it back via streaming to anywhere in the house (any smart TV or AppleTV) or stream over the web to the island with full control of the DVR remotely. I can even stream live channels from the Tablo.

With this I have all Boston and Providence channels available to me at the lake for free (hardware cost and small optional guide fee). I HAVE CUT THE CORD. I also use AppleTV for Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime so it makes a nice integrated solution with all my recorded shows no matter where I am. Requires about minimum 3Mbps stream.
