Hey there, Wondering if anyone from Australia has used Apple TV to watch free to air. Can you comment what your experience has been like?

    It’s not a tuner, but as long as you have the bandwidth and data allowance for it, streaming through the apps works fine 95% of the time. Just be prepared for a lot of repeats of the same ads, and very occasionally a live sports event will be missing.

    You can’t hook up an antenna but you can install ABC SBS 10 9 7 apps onto the apple box to watch. Has live feeds of their channel + on-demand. You might need to sign up for accounts for a few of them which is annoying.

    If your television has an antenna input you could use the antenna and Apple TV in tandem so you can get your local channels w/out using any Internet data/speed on antenna, and streaming from Internet on the apple.
