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.

Introduced in its place is a much more narrow-band token broadcasting service carrying digital channel data.
Which gives me over three times as many networks on the same channels, all without snow, static, or other analog noise. WTF? Digital was a great improvement, grandpa!
