Besides watching online on your computer at universalsports.com, for the tv broadcasts Universal Sports is carried in Chicago on Comcast 251, RCN 51, and for digital televisions channel 5.3 over-the-air (WMAQ’s sub-channel 3).   If you don't want to pay Comcast whatever fee they charge (probably a lot) for the extended basic cable, then get it free over the air.  Here are some links to how to build a DTV antenna:

Note that these designs are for a UHF antenna as nearly all DTV signals are UHF, and indeed, WMAQ's digital broadcast is on RF 29 (your box calls it 5) for DTV and will remain so after the changeover.  However, after the changeover the information I have is that ABC and CBS will be on VHF-hi frequencies in the Chicagoland area.  I am now picking up RF 11 where I live with a modified version of the above designs, using 10” whiskers spread 5 1/2" (20 1/4” coathanger wire) spaced 9 3/4” with the phase line wire spaced 1 3/8” apart.  Believe, me, it works, even with my preliminary reflector (which is too small).  The rabbit ears I had couldn't pick up the signal but the coathanger antenna does.
