Unless you stream via the internet or install a satellite system, you'll only get local channels. For me that is 2 channels at best. Glomex has a good low profile product:

You can also set up a hotspot with your cell phone or use one of these for streaming but data charges will apply:

The other option of course is satellite $$$

I don't know for sure what brand of antenna I got with the boat when I bought it last year. It looks a bit like a flying saucer and where I am located I get 42 channels over the air. I am in Monroe MI located between Detroit and Toledo OH and I am picking up stations from both cities.
