When I was a kid, I, like all my fellow Gen Zs, waited patiently for new episodes of Hannah Montana and iCarly. But, I also (sorta embarrassingly) looked forward to each weeknight when my family would sit down and watch back-to-back episodes of M*A*S*H and Columbo on MeTV.

Get MeTV with an antenna
Wanna watch MeTV without internet? I can help with that, too. And, spoiler alert: It’s easy and pretty darn cheap.
What you’ll need is an over-the-air (OTA) antenna. After your one-time purchase of an OTA antenna, you’ll have access to MeTV for free, no internet or pricy streaming subscriptions needed.
Luckily, we’ve got a great, in-depth guide to the best OTA antennas for every need and budget. I showed this guide to my parents, who have YouTube TV but also wanted to watch MeTV, and they were able to pick out the best antenna for their setup in a matter of minutes.
Issues with your antenna post-setup? MeTV’s own website has a page with tips on how to rescan your antenna to make sure your MeTV streaming stays smooth.
