Television sources > Over The Air (OTA) television
More programming is making over-the-air TV viewing a great option

Like I answered before, OTA tv is better than it used to be but still lacks good, in depth programming. Most of these extra channels only show reruns of shows from the 70's and 80's. While some just rotate ABC's shows to NBC, NBC's show's over to CBS and so on. So you're basically watching the same shows on 3 or 4 different networks.

I have an antenna on one of the inputs on my TV. I pick up over 20 digital channels in my area and at least half of them are not carried by my satellite service provider. It is a nice option to have. it is a good back up during outages as well.
JohnBeaulieu:
Most of the channels I receive are not carried by my satellite provider. I like some of the niche channels that I haven't found anywhere else. I'm fortunate enough to live bear an urban center and have good reception. It is great to have the antenna option during an outage of service. I don't have a digital converter because I have a digital TV. It is nice to not need the extra equipment.

I don't think so. Most OTA channels repeat the same tv shows. ABC shows are seen on NBC, While NBC shows are seen on CBS and so on. The content is weak and only cater to a certain demographic...white people.

That couldn't be more wrong. New original programming isn't generally shared on networks. They aren't all running the same thing. You must be confusing reruns and old syndicated material with normal network programming. There are a lot of specialty channels that are available OTA dependent on where you live. Making a blanket statement of it all being the same bad programming targeted at a particular race is untrue and fairly ignorant.
