Even new systems have them, probably because the radio on the chip is something SDR-ish; also, there is equipment that still transmits analog signal, just not over the air (think CCTV et al.).
So yeah, the receivers are still shipped, just ~nobody tunes into their ranges anymore.
- jiofih 6y agoThey don’t come with antennas though (and houses don’t have them anymore), so the majority of devices are unable to tune to anything. In my country everything has moved to digital and the spectrum sold for mobile use.
- Piskvorrr 6y agoI'm receiving DVB-T2 off the same wiring and antenna that was used for DVB-T, and analog before that. shrug Different part of the world, perhaps? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belling-Lee_connector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belling-Lee_connector
- xgulfie 6y agoIndoor antennas can be bought for like $15 here in the US
- anthk 6y agoThe US is sparse. In Europe you are like in a tin of sardines and most people live in flats. I can't get dvbt over the air where I live because of: 1) Everyone got fiber tv so the old communitary antenna has been taken down from the roof 2) My building is surrounded by taller ones blocking the signal for a tiny 40DB indoors antenna
- Piskvorrr 6y agoIf you have something that generates the signal, and something that receives it, the antenna is just a wire between those two (of course, you better power them off the same source).
