Hi, everyone. It's my first topic of the day. And all that I am so sure is that I don't know how to watch Qubo without cable on a TV (or Locast on my computer). Can you guys help me?
Depends where you are. If you're using Locast, in the LA market area Qubo is on 30.2.
Another thing: I don't have an antenna for Qubo yet! How can I make a stronger antenna for my TV?
Good to know.
Locast is a digital rebroadcaster. They take OTA antenna broadcasts, and then stream them online to people in the same broadcast area over the internet. They have apps for a variety of different platforms, you can view the feeds directly on their website, or best yet, you can use your Locast account with Channels and integrate it directly with Channels' DVR.
If you are looking for capturing OTA broadcasts with an antenna to be used with Channels on your TV, then you need a HDHomeRun tuner from Silicon Dust.
If neither of those options is what you are looking for, then perhaps you could be a bit more explicit in what exactly you are looking to achieve.
Is there a way to watch Qubo in Spanish (via SAP)?
If the program provides it, then it will be a selectable audio stream. However, that is only true for OTA broadcasts received via an antenna with a HDHR tuner. Locast only encodes the primary (English) audio stream; secondary streams are dropped, and all audio is downmixed to stereo even if the original OTA source is 5.1 Dolby Digital/AC-3.
Let's see: HDHomeRun tuner and antenna. How can I watch Qubo outside USA?
How do I make an antenna for my TV to receive OTA broadcasts like Qubo and SAP?
Can you give me some instructions and steps on how to receive OTA broadcasts (including Qubo) with an antenna and HDHR tuner?
Information on using an antenna with a HDHomeRun tuner can be found both on the Silicon Dust and Channels websites. Information on where to find Qubo being broadcast in your area can be found on their website.
Technically, redistributing US broadcasts outside their broadcast area is illegal. Some Canadian locations can receive US broadcasts with an antenna, but it depends upon your antenna, where the broadcast comes from, and your line-of-sight to the broadcast tower.

What are some of the Canadian locations that receive US broadcast with an antenna?
Maybe someone else can help you with your new questions, asI don't think I'm the best person to aid you in this new direction.
Is there someone else to help me with those new questions?
You’re going to have to be more clear about what you are trying to achieve. Have you checked their website to see if the videos there will work for you?
Yes, it's called Google.
What kind of HDTV antennas have Qubo? And what are some of the Canadian locations that have US broadcasts like Qubo with an antenna?
Using Google I found the following:
Town: Fort Yorktrail, Canada has Qubo in 3 different languages.
According to Google, you don't need a HDTV antenna. A simple wire clothes hanger will do.
