Think that is just a Google thing. I took, got sick of it and use Duckduckgo instead.

But you're not thinking of the CEO's next yacht! Or the shareholders!

Those are the costs of doing business, and can be greatly exaggerated. And other counties produce profitable drugs even with price restrictions. We're so accustomed to price gouging, that we don't recognize it.

When I was a broke teenager I pirated games. But back then there wasn't any online play (80s).

Now I primarily pirate movies and TV shows. And most of that is ripping DVDs and Blu-ray discs, which I still buy when I really like something. Then supplement with torrents.

But I've never debated the ethics. Was it Thoreau that said something that the effect of, if you engage in civil disobedience, even against unjust laws, you must be ready to accept the consequences.

For the NHL and MLB you're just fucked. Those leagues completely failed negotiations. Maybe Amazon picking up a big chunk of Bally's will get us our teams on Prime. Maybe.

In general, all the major sports leagues (except maybe Premier League) are firmly stuck in the past and view cable as great. Maybe we'll see some better options when each league re-negotiates the TV deals. But even when that happens, expect the NHL to fuck it up somehow.

That was it, thanks!

The question was already answered, so I thought I'd be funny.

When I looked, I needed a code form a current member to join. So I'm out of luck, and the website said if you can't get the code, then just get it from the usual sites.

Thanks. I believe I have the no DNR version. Wasn't sure what DNR meant, so now I know.

Look up antennaweb.org, like others have said.
I use this one: GE Outdoor HD Digital TV Antenna
You don't need to spend big money in order to get a great antenna. There are no specialized antennas needed for HD or 4k. Any antenna claiming range over 80 miles is making, being charitable, dubious claims. If it looks like a dildo, it will be a lousy antenna.

The new wrinkle to the modern antenna game is the transition to digital. You'll need a digital tuner to watch OTA now. Lots of TVs have them built in, so you can plug the antenna directly into them. If your TV doesn't, or you want to stream the OTA channels within your house you'll need a digital tuner like the HDHomeRun Flex 4k (4 tuners built in).

And the same downsides of antennas from back in the day are still a problem today. If you live in a rural area far from the broadcast centers, you'll have trouble picking up signal. If you live in a hilly or mountainous area, you'll have issues. If your local broadcasting areas are all spread out around you instead of one general area, you might have to pick and choose what you actually can pick up.
