As a kid I imagined the future as being able to hold a TV in your pocket, and flying skateboards. For the latter I guess electric scooters will have to do

    So? Not sure why the difference matters. What is even the use or a tuner anymore?

        Which has significantly worse picture quality than cable or fiber, has fewer channels and isn’t even significantly cheaper

            Here you get a grand total of three shitty channels for free OTA. Anything more requires a subscription.

              Oh no.

              Here, in the middle of nowhere, like a town with 1500 people was the biggest thing in 20 miles or so, we got about 10-15 channels without even having the antenna outside the house, plus surrounded by forest.

                We have more OTA channels, you just have to pay for them. The free channels are in shitty SD quality (you have to pay for HD) and they are only unencrypted because the government requires it (as they are used for emergency broadcasts).
