Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
regarding the “best video” obtainable with an actual antenna, I have to say that the reality is more of a mixed bag. When OTA HD first came out, most channels produced a high quality main channel and threw in a lower resolution secondary channel. PBS of course had the main channel and 3 or 4 lower resolution channels out of the gate. Now, for example, WCPO has carved their bandwidth into a total of 6 streams. How much quality could they have with that? WRGT - 5 streams, etc.
and several have thrown in a “nextgen” channel to boot, not sure if it takes away from the bandwidth available to the others.
so just a reminder that a station will do what it thinks best serves its owners.

Yep, there’s theoretically enough bandwidth for OTA and cable to both have fantastic quality but carving it up into little pieces makes defeats that.
