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.

In the recent spectrum auction, about half my local OTA stations took the money and are shutting down before ATSC 3.0 will roll out.
I'm pretty sure I'm watching more youtube and internet streamed video than OTA, so when OTA goes away I won't miss it very much.
I am a bit annoyed about the silo -ification of content. No, I'm not signing up to some dodgy website to watch the latest Trek series assuming thats all on schedule.
