This is really a logical development, because almost everyone has an internet connection and wifi, but many people live in areas with poor RF coverage by broadcast TV. The problem is even worse since the digital TV conversion. All this does is to give people like me, far from the cities, a decent signal for free broadcast TV...commercials and all. $8 a month is not bad compared to building a 100-foot tower.
My only point was the “antenna” is not an antenna.
