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.

The only broadcasts that actually benefit from 4K, over 1080, are those which either use HDR or HFR ... a.k.a. Sports.
How many OTA broadcasts will still have sports 2 years from now? Shifting sports to paid networks is how the cable industry survives...
