“Over the Air” is just relying on what is at this point very old technology and they keep kneecapping themselves with DRM just like internet options.
Further, there is no reason for there to not be streams of over-the-air television available on the internet for people who can’t get their broadcast signals.
I have lived in two different cities that were valleys and so unless I had a 12 foot tall TV antennae on the top of my house/apartments, there was no way in hell I was getting more than one OTA channel at all anyway. The airwaves are inefficient in that capacity whereas they could be putting the exact same daily TV content online for viewers.
I see no reason why “over-the-air” can’t also be “over-the-IP” for people who can’t get a broadcast signal.

I just gave up on OTA. Why jump through hoops to watch TV on someone else’s schedule?
