Where to Watch College Football Using a TV Antenna

College football is still big on cable networks like Big Ten Network, ESPN, and FOX Sports. But more games are now airing on free broadcast channels. You don’t need cable or streaming to watch major conferences like the Big Ten and SEC. With a TV antenna, you can catch games on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and The CW. The Big Ten and ACC have deals bringing more games to broadcast TV. Nielsen estimates that 23 million U.S. households use an antenna.

Forget about TV Antenna Range, Focus on Antenna Gain Instead

Many TV antennas claim to reach 100 miles or more, but range isn’t the key. Antenna gain is a better measure of performance. It shows how well an antenna captures UHF and VHF signals. Distance matters, but gain and design are more important for getting channels. Picking the right antenna and mounting it properly also help. Understanding gain will improve your reception.

Antop 800SBS Outdoor TV Antenna Review

The Antop 800SBS is a multi-directional TV antenna for UHF and VHF channels. It performs well for receiving free local broadcasts, including HI-V and Low-V. You can expect to get signals from up to 50 miles away with outdoor or attic mounting. Terrain and obstacles may affect reception. This antenna ranks among the best indoor and outdoor options I’ve tested.
