Two Prong--Best Digiatl Antenna for 50 miles - and - cheap basic streaming service?

[Kraniac]

Anyone with experience around a Digital Antenna with a 50 or 60 mile range?..will be an outdoor rig for sure, guessing it needs power..basically unobstructed path about 50 miles across lake michigan to the chicago transmitters..

Also..

Im looking for a Streaming service that'll give me a couple of news networks (MSNBC n whatever) and a minimum of throwaway channels..

Cheap..I dont watch much TV but i do like to check in on a range of news

SLING seems to be one that's most mentioned--i would like to be able to turn it on and off...no contract..

Are there hardware devices associated with any of these streaming services??
has to be friendly to short term rental guests..as simple as as possible..

Any others?

Thanks
