Then you can stream, using the cheapest data plan, to supplement the over the air stuff.

I checked it and it is as I recall from the precable days, nothing over the air. We are a good 30 miles out from the city of Houston and we have lots of tall trees. I have an antenna for my HD radio that I think can also be used for TV.

That being said, I actually have not watched any local TV other then the occasional local PBS channel, I hate commercials and haven't followed weekly shows since Hill Street Blues ended.
