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.

There is no need for 4K pixels. Much lower quality should be enough. Higher resolutions and colors can (and currently are) abused to brainwash the viewer using mind-control technologies. A sudden flash of something here and a sudden flash there, and do it enough times so the viewer becomes a mindless drone who can be triggered to do anything at any time.
DO NOT let anything come near your five senses that you cannot trust. DO NOT listen to the enemy. When a true friend gives you a video (4K or not), you can watch it. But when a jew gives you something, anything, DO NOT go near it.
Be wary of TV (and all media) of all kinds. You don't know whether that is a friend broadcasting images and sound (to be downloaded into your mind) or not. You don't want to read or watch gutter journalism.

I see someone could use some socialised mental health care.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

That you are incapable of realizing what's going on and the techniques used is not really our problem. So this "care" stuff is utterly bullshit.

You're delusional*. Get some help.
*please note that one of the symptoms is not being able to realise you're delusional.

Is it tinfoil hat day today?

No it is straw man day: Take an interesting concern (e.g. possibility of using redundancy in media channels to exert subliminal subversion), or a concern which is distorted version of real possibility, smear antisemitism, racism, or other common antisocial tarnish over it, then post it as troll so that public forms and internalizes association between the concern and general cookiness. Presto: easy, inexpensive, effective and preemptive censorship.
It is possible to manipulate public in other ways, too. Make a persona (or a few) with which a target group can identify, and one (or a few) with which a target group is going to antagonize, and then let your two sock puppets "argue" on a topic you wish to build opinion about in the target group. It is actually an ancient oldie - Socratic dialogue, only on public message boards it produces stronger illusion of reality then in literature, because of its interactive (more lifelike) appearance.
That's why I became an AC, because I want to drive a point home: learn to separate the ideas communicated from what you think you know about those who source them, especially from what they are trying to make you think that they are, take the essence of those ideas and evaluate their own merit.

No, Fridays are tinfoil hat days. That way, the truly mad conversations extend throughout the weekend. We then return to more serious matters on Mondays when the cubicle farm dwellers return.
