That's what I've long suspected. No wonder it's a great opportunity to save/waste money :)

Supposedly in some social classes and age groups, broadcast TV is literally unheard of, with Best Buy promoting TV antennas accordingly ("free cable!") and people suspecting it's a scam or illegal.

to be fair, if you heard about a free tv online streaming service you might assume their business model is suspicious?

broadcast is kinda uniquely positioned.
