YouTube TV never seemed to be a great value.

I love my OTA HD HomeRun. It's a bizarre name for a networked TV tuner with no monthly fee. Every device in the house can get broadcast TV channels because of that one box attached to a big antenna in the attic.

It's great while it lasts. Broadcasters have locked down the next version of broadcast TV (atsc 3) with DRM.

It was at first. I remember starting it at $40 like, 10 years ago for the super bowl. It was so convenient, just paid 40 to watch it, then cancelled. There were no ads at the time either, so when the networks played ads it just had a little animation.

Of course they killed everything good about it. Twice as much, ads, I believe they're eyeing commitments too. So it's just cable. In face I'm pretty sure cable is CHEAPER now.
