The main question for most people is whether it is worth the effort to
use an antenna to receive what is available on FOTA TV?


I get 65+ programs from 19 OTA DTV Transmitters.

To do this I had to install three antennas; a low VHF, a high VHF and a UHF.
Fortunately I live in line with two major markets and several smaller nearby ones that I can receive signals from, so this adds to the number of programs I can watch. 

For me this is free TV, and I can ignore the commercials as they zip by
at speeds of up to one minutes-worth per second with a DVR.



Which still begs the question, is any of this stuff worth watching?

Who also notes that during many day parts a significant number of these 65 channels carry duplicates of the same content.
