In this video I discuss a TV station that's broadcasting four channels in 4K, two in 1080p, and eight in 720p all on one single RF channel in the current dig...

Low power TV station takes advantage of the fact most TVs support H.264 and HEVC video codecs to broadcast 14 HD programs over the air.

    It’s funny that most people forget OTA TV still exists and that you don’t need to pay to see a lot of shows. For the cost of one month’s service fees you can get a decent amplified antenna, but if you’re near any large cities that broadcast you can get a cheap cardboard-sandwiched antenna for less than $10 and requires no installation. It’s cool to see some people are taking advantage of the open spectrum and newer technologies.

      I’ve been running a Tivo OTA since 2017. Haven’t paid for local channels since then. Paid once for the box and a good outdoor antenna. Now I only have Disney/Hulu bundle for free with my cell phone data package.
