Just curious because I don’t see people talk about it a lot.

    Linear TV over an antenna? Well that’s only technically free. You’d need to buy a receiving device - that costs money. You need to watch ads - that costs time.

      Well considering many paid tiers of streaming services also serve ads, I consider it free-er than that.

      Also, most of the hardware is already inside your TV. You just need a $20 antenna.

        I have no TV. I watch all my movies and series via a big PC screen which has no TV functionality.

          Ah. Well if your PC is static, a USB tuner isn’t too much. Plus then you have a built-in DVR.

      If you have a TV, you likely already have the receiving device. Antenna can cost, or you can play around with wire length and orientation.
