Locast is a service that rebroadcast TV channels usually picked up with a TV antenna.
For those who have never picked up free over-the-air TV signals from a major TV market, there can often be 80 or more free channels to watch.
This includes all the major networks such as ABC, CBS, Fox and many more.
Currently, there are 16 markets available with a user needing to be living near the area to use the Locast service.
While Locast TV is free there is an annoying reminder to donate that will repeatedly come back until a donation is made for at least $5.
If you have a TV antenna the same channels can usually be picked up and watched for free with no need for the Locast service.
But is you have no antenna or difficulty receiving OTA TV signals Locast can be a real benefit.
