In some areas, you can 'pirate' live TV directly from the sky!

You need this thing called an 'antenna' which captures invisible radio waves and decodes them into a picture with audio. You can't pause or rewind, and you have to be in front of the TV at specific times, so it is not precis the same, but you can access TV this way.

Not ATSC 3.0 channels. People very far from large urban areas don't have many channels to choose from.

It's not piracy if the people who have the rights to the content are distributing it like that.

[kevin_thibedeau]

ATSC 3 will fix that loophole.

You can even use something like HDHomeRun to watch this content on your phone/tablet.

(Personally I only use OTA for sports)

Yes, I’m well aware of that. I spent much of my childhood adjusting the antenna to get better reception. But I don’t see how that’s relevant.

Don't know your age, but today's $20 indoor antennas are pretty unobtrusive and don't require much adjustment beyond the initial placement. Its a nicer experience with digital hd antennas for sure than what we experienced 30+ years ago. Mine is a single flat antenna taped onto the wall behind my tv and shared to all other tvs and devices via hdhomerun + plex.
