King Jack or Wingman antenna

It is amazing that TV manufacturers have totally ignored the needs of those that want to receive over the air stations. I have to believe that they are catering to the cable companies as there is no other good reason for not being able to add channels. When you talk to many people today, they have no clue that antennas now can receive more channels than ever before.

OTA will always exist but cable is eventually going to go the way of the do-do bird as more & more stream what they want to watch. Cable costs, at least here in Canada, have increased to the point where we're paying ridiculous sums for hundreds of channels that are absolutely useless just for the "privilege" of receiving a few select channels that we actually would watch. For sure, wireless connectivity can still be spotty when out camping but coverage does continue to improve and will eventually spell the death knell for greedy cable operations. I have a spare omni RV antenna and even just sitting it in any of the upstairs bedrooms I can receive all the Canadian networks transmitting off the CN Tower in Toronto and most of the US networks transmitting out of Buffalo. Since we already pay for unlimited internet data we're now thinking of ditching cable entirely and going back to OTA for news & network shows and streaming for anything else we may want to watch.
