2024 marks the pivotal year when having an antenna for your TV becomes essential in Australia.
Antennas continue to be a reliable means of accessing live TV without any subscription fees. With the likelihood of streaming service costs rising in the coming years, finding cost-effective alternatives becomes crucial. While streaming companies aim to maximise profits, there’s a silver lining – the abundance of ”free” options, including streaming services supported by advertising and local broadcast channels.
The key advantage of local channels lies in their accessibility without the need for a long-term commitment. By investing in an over-the-air antenna and a compatible tuner, you can enjoy local broadcast channels for free. Although there may be an initial expense, it’s a one-time investment that pays off in the long run.

Selecting the right antenna placement is crucial for optimal performance. Ideally installed outdoors and positioned towards local broadcast towers, a well-placed antenna can provide access to numerous local channels over the air. Most modern televisions come equipped with built-in tuners, eliminating the need for additional equipment. Simply connect the antenna to your TV, scan for channels, and you’re set.

By spending no more than a couple of hundred dollars upfront, you can enjoy a vast array of content without the burden of monthly subscription fees. Pairing your antenna setup with free ad-supported TV services like 7Plus, 9Now & 10Play further expands your viewing options.
In the meantime, investing in an antenna for free access to local channels proves to be a reliable and cost-effective alternative for Australian viewers.
