Consumer Reports is running an article titled Free Over-the-Air TV Is Going to Get Better. They're rolling out a new standard, ATSC 3.0.
According to the article, you'll be able to watch OTA (over the air) TV on your phone or tablet! I wrote an article a few years back wondering why you couldn't already.
It's a fairly long and very informative article, but very much worth a read. It only talks about American broadcasts, no word about when or if it will reach other countries, but my guess is it won't be long.

It was a comparison. I was pointing out that if you add more channels, you'll and up in the same situation as cable TV, with a few decent channels and a lot of useless waste. Might as well use the waste to slightly improve the good stuff instead.
Why what is happening, 4K? I thought that the whole problem was that this (aka more OTA channels) isn't happening.
