> they just have some weird hangup about buying a $10 antenna and connecting it to their television. A few years ago I tried to get OTA to watch the Oscars. This was after the 2009 digital switchover. I did some research and bought a couple different antennas, looked online so they could be directed at the intended tower. I got nothing. It may have been because the signal was blocked by a mountain, but I lived near UCLA in Los Angeles at the time. With streaming and cable as competition there just isn't incentive on the broadcast and receiving side to set up a good enough system for a lot of people.
