For all the people who can't afford OTT services like hbo and Netflix and prime and apple tv, how about we remove all the excess IP overhead and send the mp4 over broadcast RF using a band like 700mhz from local hills or if need be make towers. We can pay by watching ads or something.
I mean sure, call me crazy, imagine everyone having to watch the news and movie at the same time, neat right? Wouldn't that be cool. Hell we could probably even send about 5 or so different signals out.
Last year, I puzzled over how to watch my local sports team of choice and got mired in questions about streaming services and local blackouts and licensing. Then I bought a ten dollar antenna for my TV.
I have line of sight to the Brisbane transmitters across the river such that I think I may have an attenuator on the antenna feeds.
I actually miss broadcast TV social norms. It was crap but we all talked about it. First release movies from last year at Christmas and a non stop feed of Hollywood B reels. Daytime soaps!
