> OVER-THE-AIR TV FACTS

What is OTA? Over-the-air is the way TV was broadcast before cable. Since the 1950s, broadcasters have sent signals over the air, which are picked up by antennas. Is it legal? Absolutely. It’s as legal as listening to a radio station in your car or at home. Is it expensive? No. All you need is an antenna and coaxial cable. Older TVs may require a device to convert the high-definition signal. Newer TVs can receive it directly. Do you get a good picture? It may be better than cable because the signal is not being compressed for distribution through the cable pipe. Where can I learn more? Digitalhome .ca has a good forum.
