OTA TV (Rabbit Ears picking up Digital TV - c.f. older analog NTSC), at least here in Canada, is still using MPEG2. The stream is typically around 20 Mbps, including the audio, which is Dolby Digital 5.1 (except certain channels, such as TVO (TV Ontario), which is DD 2.0).
It's all based on ATSC. While there is an ATSC 2.0, they skipped that in Canada, there will be ATSC 3.0, which will use HEVC (H265) for 4K. But don't hold your breath on that...the TV stations aren't exactly opening their wallets to upgrade anything!
