I’m also a subscriber to Locast because my mother canceled her satellite service. She’s had it for about 4 months now and absolutely loves it. I also donate monthly. I hope Locast is here to stay. Rabbit ear antennas just don’t do the job.

Informative video, thanks. Have been donating to and using Locast for a few months now in the S Florida market and so far has been pretty reliable. Two times though when I wanted to watch a college football game and a pro football game, both on my local ABC, the channel was dark for the entirety of the game. It’s as if ABC somehow blacked it out. These were both nationally broadcast games so I don’t know what happened. Those are the only two times I have had issues with a station not broadcasting and would be curious why and how that happened. Other than that Locast has been great and is providing me with all my local channels that are being broadcast for free anyway but would require the expense of an antenna and installation on my roof which is not allowed by my HOA anyway. Thank you Locast and thank you for this review!

Thanks for opening up opportunity towards this new venture!

Locast is absolutely fantastic. It is totally worth it. Especially when you don't want to have to install an outdoor antenna and you live in one of the major markets that they serve. Streaming quality is excellent for me, and I love the fact that I don't have to go through my local cable company and pay five times as much just for broadcast TV. I recommend low-caste to everyone if you live in a major city that they serve.

I'm a big user of Locast and I absolutely love it! It indeed saves me alot of money because I do have Sling and it does go well with it and I haven't had any issues at all so I definitely recommend it for people who don't want to use an antenna... the only issue I have is when your already a member and donate monthly, that donate above the screen and below it should come off!!

[joshuagalneda]

Impressive video and instructions ! Great voice, talking speed and quality content and information. Carry on Sir !!!

[rickhott]

I have had Sling for the last 2 months and added Locast soon after. Everything you said about Locast has also been my experience. Much better than an antenna.

This is great! I think I will try Locast with Philo. I'm glad Locast is standing up to the big corporate channels.

[khanscombe]

It didn’t let me watch my local Los Angeles TV when visiting family up north in Salt Lake City. Does it use my physical location rather than where I live or area code (818 Burbank/Glendale, Ca)? Otherwise I don’t need it when home since we have huge live antenna feeds all over

[williamborges]

We use Locast 30+ miles outside of Phoenix behind some mountains. The service is near flawless and an incredible bargain. What's not to love?

[cocabrown]

I had locast and loved it with Philo. 4 or 5 times I was cut off because I was not in a service area, I did not move my house, the problem was caused by my isp after power failures. I would totally recommend it.

[jimg]

I donate $5/mo and I'm very happy with LOCAST. I get 27 local channels.

[markspencer]

To be honest this is the best app to compliment your tv viewing habits!! I made a donation

[jayswafford]

I live in Nashville, TN...when is LOCAST gonna be available here??? Couldnt I sign up & pick an alternate city like ATLANTA to watch?

[VinE]

I has Sling and I may be going back and I thought I read somewhere that Sling now can include the Locast channels in the Sling Channel guide. That would definitely make it more convenient. Also, my current cable company does charge $16 for the local channels and I do have Locast here, I've tested it but don't use it yet.

[NJBeachbum]

How was the stream on Super Bowl Sunday? I'd especially like to know about the NY area. Thanks.

[jackurban]

There was a problem in the Phoenix area with channels 7.1 and 7.2 in May 2021. I wanted to make sure the signal was reliable before I donated. Locast took those channels out of their offerings for one week. That is not acceptable for me to donate at this time. Therefore, I’m going to wait longer before I donate to make sure it doesn’t happen again with other channels.

[delwilliams]

With locast >f you use a pvr and select a broadcast city it will then work for that selected city

[tomg]

I subscribed to Locast since I live in a semi-rural area where it's impossible to pickup "over the air" local channels. These networks are required to provide OTA but they instead force us to a subscription service like HULU or cable TV. So, Locast is doing the job the network's have refused to do.
