[Electronics-Talk] Adding an External Indoor Antenna to a Toshiba Fire TV Model [DVS] hi, we could hav added one of those new type antennas but when I tried to get it on the remote that my husband uses, it said that we would lose the channels from paramont plus, the ten dollar a month streaming service so i did not add the antenna because it would have made it difficult for my husband to find the channels from paramont plus. We get by good because we have a bunch of free apps and also use the free you tube. I really do not watch much tv at all. I can do what I want on my phone anyway. Another thing, we got rid of our hand line and have magic jack which is only 39 dollars a year. Our remote will talk as soon as I get a new phone. Later.]Georgia
