Yeah, OTA doesn't really work anywhere except cities. I used to sell "big screens" at Sears and I was asked that question so frequently, especially back when cable was switching from analog to digital. Years 2004-2006.
I live 40 miles outside of a major city. Even back in analog days with a big antenna I couldn't pick anything up; there's a hill that blocks all the signals between me and the city.
Eventually I got cable but dropped it a couple years ago.
