Via a Wi Fi chip and a very simple antenna
The WiFi antenna is NOT necessarily in the sick. I have one WiFi PCI card and
one WiFi USB device, and neither one has the antenna built in. The only
significant difference here would be in the frequency band. OTA antennas will
be larger, for equal gain. My OTA antenna is very simple too, just larger
physically.
Who wants them, and who pays for them?
Cord nevers and cord cutters would want them, at least as long as broadcasters
use RF spectrum for live news and sports, both being the main type of
programming that people seem to still want live. And the funding could be more
or less subsidized by, say, the NAB. That would depend entirely on how
convinced broadcasters really are, that OTA broadcast and ATSC 3.0 are the
future.
(Or demand for ATSC 3.0 could be low, and by default, OTA soldiers on with ATSC
1.0.)
Your worldview about the Internet rendering other distribution media
obsolete, suggests there is no reason for broadcasters to subsidize
another digital transition.
As I've stated on multiple occasions.
