Hey Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ?, Bryan Burnett?, and anyone else who might know. I have a TV down stairs that would be a real pain to run an antenna to (tried hooking up an antenna that mounts to the wall behind it without luck ). I saw the plex on the pi 3 story and it got me thinking. We have a chrome cast connected that works fine, but would like OTA tv. We don't have /want cable or satellite so what can we do? I have a bunch of PI's, arduinos, and other stuff (aka amazon prime lol).

A former twit member iAS Acktar(sorry I know I spelled his name wrong), had OTA solutions. Devices that received OTA signals and made them available through the home network.

I think the show was This Old Nerd... may find on YouTube.

Chances are good, you can add a splitter to your existing antenna and run a cable to your other tv in the basement. I used to have cable, and coax was still run from my basement to every room in the house. I hooked a single antenna to where the cables were all split with splitters ("Tees"), and do not have any problem. I have 4-5 TV's all getting their over the air signal from a single antenna. Also, My antenna is not a store purchased one. I made this one: http://www.diytvantennas.com/sbgh.php

Bill Boelke? I know that I can do that but it would be a lot of work running the cable. I'm looking for a way to do this without having to cut up the walls.

I use an old roku for the tv in my garage. I have twc and run the twc app on it, but could also run amazon prime etc. Not sure if this is the sort of thing that might help you, but thought I'd give my two cents.
