3·7 months agoI mean, you don’t even own a TV.
Of course, what the hell are you doing here?
Until ATSC 3.0 is fully adopted. Then, they’re going to turn into cable.
I watched on an OTA antenna and an HDHomeRun device.
Whoops, your bias is showing.
Then share your local law. Don’t be pissy that Americans are clarifying for other Americans.
It wasn’t Netflix’s decision to pull the content people wanted to watch. That was content creators like Disney that pulled their content to start their new streaming services. Netflix was stuck with creating their own content, which as it turns out is hard.
Also Netflix: We should raise our prices again.
News reports have Reddit making the IPO push this year. Get ready for more DRAMA!
This is the least shocking revelation.
Because you are doing something illegal. Your ISP might not care, but if someone complains, they HAVE to start the process. You’re not only protecting yourself, but your ISP from the music industry’s wrath.
Unfortunately, Firefox usage is at an all time low. Google just hasn’t had time to get around us.
VPN will encrypt your traffic so your ISP can’t spy on you. That’s the whole point of a VPN.
Exactly. There is a huge potential safety issue.
So broadcast TV currently broadcasts on ATSC 1.0. You get an antenna and a box or TV that has a digital tuner and you’re good. Industry is pushing for ATSC 3.0, which allows for DRM. So even though they are broadcasting on the public airwaves, they can decide you can’t watch. It sets up the local broadcasters to be the new cable with ever increasing prices AND play king maker on devices by choosing which can and cannot produce tuners. In my area, 5 channels have ATSC 3.0, and 1 of them turned on DRM. Meaning I can’t watch it because HDHomeRun devices aren’t approved, likely because it has the ability to record. Luckily, that channel still broadcasts in ATSC 1.0, so I can still watch it for now. 3.0 isn’t a fully adopted yet, but that can change in the future (2027?).
Pay attention boys and girls, this is also what they want to do with over the air broadcasts with the ATSC 3.0 format.
Something that can’t be taken away from you by the whims of an artist, studio, or streaming service. Something you can re-rip as audio codexes change.
Would that work for Blu-ray? I’m guessing not.
MakeMKV to rip them from disc. Handbrake if you need to compress them.
Look up antennaweb.org, like others have said.
I use this one: GE Outdoor HD Digital TV Antenna
You don’t need to spend big money in order to get a great antenna. There are no specialized antennas needed for HD or 4k. Any antenna claiming range over 80 miles is making, being charitable, dubious claims. If it looks like a dildo, it will be a lousy antenna.
The new wrinkle to the modern antenna game is the transition to digital. You’ll need a digital tuner to watch OTA now. Lots of TVs have them built in, so you can plug the antenna directly into them. If your TV doesn’t, or you want to stream the OTA channels within your house you’ll need a digital tuner like the HDHomeRun Flex 4k (4 tuners built in).
And the same downsides of antennas from back in the day are still a problem today. If you live in a rural area far from the broadcast centers, you’ll have trouble picking up signal. If you live in a hilly or mountainous area, you’ll have issues. If your local broadcasting areas are all spread out around you instead of one general area, you might have to pick and choose what you actually can pick up.
