Few more years until the new standards are implemented but some highlights
ros: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.
