Few more years until the new standards are implemented but some highlightsEmoticonros:1. Broadcasted in 4K2. Watch on computer / smartphone online3. Watch any broadcasted station in the country4. No more loud commercialsCons:1. May have to get a new TV but there will be a long range cut off date much like when it was switched to digital from analog. Some TV's with a USB may be able to get firmware but this is unclear right now. Since 2014 there has been an uptick in antenna use, about 5% due to high cable / SAT price points. It would be more but the main issue is limited stations in rural areas. These improvements would eliminate that problem so cable / sat are going to feel increased pain. www.cnet.com/news/at sc-3-0-what-you-need -to-know-about-the-f uture-of-broadc  4951

I was planning on getting cable / sat when we moved back but hooked up an antenna while we were in transition until I had time to research my options.I thought I would pick up a few networks but ended up getting about 45 channels and some of them are respectable, enough so that with Amazon, really no point. There is some programming I miss but not for $70-100 a month no way. Besides, I can still get those through Amazon for a small fee if I choose and pretty much any movie we want for about $4. If this improved tech let's me watch any channel in the country, I can watch almost every NFL game. Sure the NFL is going to fight it though.      4951

They've been promising the no loud commercials for years...I believe it when I don't hear it.  Between the DH going deaf in his old age and the commercials, I think our neighbors hear our TV. 4951

Yep, I bought that deal, then afterwards realized I could not watch live Astros games with it, unless using a VPN to a UK ip address. But it works. 4951
