TV Station Launches Multiple 4K Broadcasts OTA on ATSC 1.0 (youtu.be)

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.

I am not really sure what ATSC3.0 brings that 1.0 doesn't have besides the codec features. I doubt it adds much on the bandwidth side.

What I Think its adding is additional broadcast streams over the internet but integrated into the TV experience. This also means that all ATSC 3.0 TVs require a live internet connection, I think. So think the worst invasive monitoring and control of smart TVs forced on you just to watch broadcast television.

I have zero interest in ATSC 3.0.
