I thought I read something about a settler replacement with some kind of box that received local signals

We bought a cheap indoor antenna that hooks up the back of the tv and get all of our local channels free. Here is a link to the top rated indoor tv antennas.

Something to be researched carefully. Where I live antennas don't work. One must have either cable or satellite or one of the many internet based subscription services. Every area is different. Google, talk to family, friends and neighbors and see what works best for them, then investigate. I look periodically into dumping my cable, and by the time I purchase the equipment (which gets outdated rather quickly), and use alternative services, it would cost me the same or more. So for me, not an option at the current time. Prices and services across the country vary greatly. For instance my girlfriend (North Carolina) and I (California), have the same cable company, Spectrum. I have to have a "box" for each tv. I have 4 tv's. Each additional box costs $10 plus tax per month, the "main box" is included in the monthly fee. She has no boxes for their tv's and they have 9 tv's and her bill is half of what mine is. How can that be? To date I have never received a reasonable response. Goes to prove that cable and satellite companies can do whatever they want and charge whatever they want.
If you have a smart tv you can add apps. Another option is to get a box and load the apps or purchase one that is already loaded. I purchased one several years ago at a trade show and then a second box from e-bay. Some of the apps are no longer working so I am looking at upgrading mine. Mobdro is one of the apps. You have to have wifi for the box to work or run a line for internet access, which works better than wifi.

For older picture tube TV's you need a digital antenna and a converter box. New flat screen TV's you just need a digital screwed to the cable input. Then just rum a channel search to lock them in. Placement of the antenna will determine signal strength of channels.
Here you can find what channels are available in your area.

Do you mean an antenna box? This article discusses your options - https://www.groundedreason.com/watch-local-channels-without-cable/
Also have an antenna outdoors. Got it from Walmart and it cost about $50 but the indoor antenna gets as many channels as the big antenna that was mounted over 15 feet higher then the highest peak of our house. By law major networks (abc, nbc, cbs, fox, pbs and the cw) all have to provide their programming for free to people using an antenna. If you want a cheaper cable alternative check into Sling tv. For $25 a month you can get over 30 cable channels. All you need is internet access and a roku box. You can also save big money by getting your telephone thru the internet. We use Magic Jack and it costs us $4 a month.
