Yes — the broadcast signal is genuinely free, and always has been. What’s never been free is the equipment and know-how to receive it reliably. Our subscription covers the equipment, the professional installation, and the ongoing in-home service for $29.99/mo. The channels themselves never show up on your bill, because they don’t cost anything.

You’re not paying for the channels — you’re paying for them to work on your TV, and for someone to be responsible when they don’t. A do-it-yourself antenna setup runs a few hundred dollars upfront and comes with no one to call. Ours costs nothing upfront and comes with unlimited in-home visits from a local technician.

If you’re handy and lucky with your location, a do-it-yourself antenna is the cheapest — free channels, no monthly bill, and no one to help if it stops working. The cheapest way to get local channels with real customer service is Your TV People’s $29.99/mo subscription: a professionally installed antenna, every over-the-air channel available at your address, and unlimited in-home service visits from a local technician. Cable companies charge a separate $33/mo broadcast TV fee for local channels on top of their package price, and live TV streaming with local channels starts around $55/mo. Nothing else in the Boise area comes close.

Every over-the-air channel available at your address — and that depends on where you live and the terrain around you. It’s exactly why a professional installation matters: the right antenna, placed and aimed properly, is the difference between a handful of channels and the full lineup. You can see the full Treasure Valley antenna channel lineup on our compare page, and if you call us or stop by the showroom, we’ll give you an idea of the reception you can expect at your home.

Pixelation has two common causes, interference and low signal-strength. Many things can contribute — distance to the towers, terrain, trees, local cell towers or even power lines — so one channel can come in crystal-clear while another stutters. That’s also why it’s often fixable. We check each local channel’s signal strength at your home with professional meters, and try different antennas and placements to find what actually works — sometimes wall-mounting the antenna so the house itself blocks interference, rather than aiming it straight at the towers. It’s hands-on, and it’s how we get you the most reliable picture your location can give.

No — antenna channels work with no internet at all. If you do have wifi at home, we’ll also set up the free streaming services that go nicely with antenna TV, at no extra charge. And if you need an internet connection, we sell Starlink too — just ask.

No credit check and no startup costs. There’s a simple 12-month agreement, and your $29.99 price is locked in for 5 years — so the commitment runs out long before the price protection does.

A local technician comes to your home and fixes it — in-home service visits are unlimited and included. And nothing even has to be broken for us to come out: can’t find a channel, remote acting up, want to learn something new? We’ll come show you. We install it, we service it, and we maintain it. That’s the whole point.

Your TV People’s monthly subscription is the best TV service for seniors in the Treasure Valley — because we built it with seniors in mind. No credit check, no upfront costs, a price that stays put for 5 years, and a local technician who comes to your home as often as needed. Your channels have real channel numbers, and there are no apps to learn unless you want them. If you want more channels, Your TV People is also a Premier Local DISH Retailer — we can add DISH with the same local service, and if you ever decide to try streaming, you’ll watch all three (antenna, DISH, and streaming) with one single remote, no inputs to change. We’re the only provider around that will help with all of it — local broadcasts, cable networks, and streaming — so no matter what you want to watch, we make it simple. If you’re looking into TV for yourself or for a parent, take a look at our TV service for seniors page, or just call and talk it through with us.

Very likely, yes. Pairing our subscription with DISH lets you drop DISH’s locals fee and DISH Protect, so adding us works out to about $3 a month — and your antenna locals show up right in your DISH guide, recordable like any other channel, all on one remote. Local support, a better way to watch your locals, and the loaner TV program — all for about three dollars a month.
