Absolutely true. I have an 8 year old flat screen tv hooked to nothing more than a flat antenna. I get around 30 TV stations as clear as cable TV, and in high def. Obama signed a bill into law several years ago requiring TV stations to put out digital signals so most analog stations went away.
At the time I had an analog TV and had to purchase a digital converter box to convert the signals to a form that the TV could decifer. But with today’s flat screen tv’s the converter is built in so all you need do is connect an antenna.
The amount of stations vary from place to place, even within the same city. It depends on how close the station is, and what might be in between that might disrupt the signal. It’s not perfect. Signals are unstable and are affected by weather, and sometimes even trains. But it still beats the heck out of paying cable thousands of dollars per year for 200+ stations, most of which you don’t even watch, or find there’s really nothing to watch.
I think clearfi has a commercial on TV about their antenna. Any will work, but if you live in a fringe area, you might need a booster or smart antenna.
