Frequently asked questions
Is it really under $99 for the whole year?
Yes, if you use free channels: the only costs are the streaming stick and the antenna, paid once. There is no monthly fee for over-the-air channels or free ad-supported apps. Paid services such as Netflix or a live TV service are optional extras.
Is this legal?
Completely. Over-the-air broadcasts are free by law, and apps like Pluto TV, Tubi and The Roku Channel are licensed and supported by ads.
Will the antenna work where I live?
Most US homes can receive several local stations. Reception depends on your distance from the broadcast towers — check a free signal map before you buy, and place the antenna high and near a window.
Can I still add ESPN or cable channels later?
Yes. The Fire TV Stick runs every major live TV app, so you can add one any month and cancel anytime. See our antenna network guide for the free channels first.
