Catch the Super Bowl in crisp high-def with a digital antenna-without spending a fortune

HOW TO ...Watch TV for Free

WORRIED YOU MIGHT miss the big game if you don't have cable? Don't be.

Even without cable or a high-priced streaming package, you can still enjoy all the gridiron action plus a bunch of other free TV. You just need the right digital antenna to pick up over-the-air (OTA) signals. Best of all, modern antennas are stronger and sleeker than ever. We've rounded up some excellent options-in all price ranges-to get you started well before kickoff.

What's On?

Both the NFC and AFC championship games take place on Sunday, January 26 (the AFC game at 3/2c on CBS, and the NFC contest at 6:30/5:30c on Fox). Two weeks later, on Sunday, February 9, the winners of those games face off in the Super Bowl, live from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, at 6:30/5:30c on Fox (but be sure to tune in early for all the pregame coverage). Also look for a thrilling halftime show from Grammy- and Pulitzer-winning "Not Like Us" artist Kendrick Lamar.
