Broadcast TV

Does broadcast tv still exist? I have internet but no cable subscription for almost 10 years. When I talk about things i used to watch on tv people act like I'm making it up.

Yes it still exists, although since transmissions switched from analog to digital the broadcast range is less than what it was.

We still have a roof antenna on our house and a digital-to-analog converter box, so we can still watch TV on our old cathode-ray-tube television, but often the stations do not come it, because we live a little too far away from the Twin Cities, where the stations broadcast from.

Yes it exists. Also if you have wifi you can watch Tubi, Pluto, and many other apps. Or if you have a firestick you can sideload apps all for free

Yes, although most of the broadcast TV I watch is on PBS or sports channels.

And you can still get tv antennas. Depending on your location, you can either get one for a window or mount on roof
@GolfT2Gz last i heard in my area antennas didnt work anymore but that was 10 years ago.

@Bobby1123422 I have one mounted to my chimney and I get 50+ channels

@GolfT2Gz go to channelmaster.com and it will show you where relay towers are and how far and direction so you can set an antenna up
