Except for the millions of us that are too far from any broadcasting towers to receive OTA. Chuck
For yrs, I had a brother that lived in extreme rural VT..
Only got two stations and one was from NY and he had antenna on 40ft of mast to get that..
His family survived without "TV" and did OTHER things with their life than sit and watch all of that junk the "networks" foist on people as "entertainment".
I personally have zero use for the "big three" networks, their news is garbage and their programming is garbage.
Heck I only watch one local channel just for the "weather" then turn it off but yet I CAN get the SAME weather reports via Internet without the use of a TV.. Most of the big three networks now days do stream their news.. and I have no use for watching sports or "made for TV" reality shows.
And by the way, IF you use a better antenna than a RV antenna, you will find a lot more stations even in the middle of "no where". My sticks and bricks is 60 miles from the nearest OTA broadcast tower and with a 8ft long antenna mounted 10 ft above the ground with a 20 DB gain preamp I can get well over 30 different OTA channels plus the sub channels.
