Locast, the non-profit organization (not counting the 2 million (+/-) that they took in over their experiences), has shut down its live, local streaming of network programming services after their most recent day in court. Locast users began calling looking for alternative solutions for watching local channels after the Locast signals went dark last week.

We have noticed that the internet antenna marketers are jumping on the bandwagon with their promises of 200 Plus mile reception, as customers seek to replace their local channels.

Our support team reports that they are able to get some of the local networks using various services, but for most of our customers that not wanting to mess around with different providers we are recommending that they consider going back to the good old TV antenna.
