A couple years ago, I heard there's a newer broadcast standard, ATSC 3.0, which has been rolling out in the US. A couple of the main goals are to allow over-the-air TV broadcasts in 4K and improvements to the signal to allow better reception in places that have a lot of trees & buildings & such. It looks like the main networks in my area broadcast in both ATSC 3.0 and the older standard; my HDHomerun Flex 4K tuner is able to pick up the ATSC 3.0 broadcasts and it seems like they do tend to get better reception for me. I often like to watch Jeopardy (on ABC), and for some reason I tend to have trouble getting the regular ABC broadcast station, but ABC's ATSC 3.0 channel tends to come in fairly well for me.

I have a few of those too - Plex TV, Roku, Pluto, and I recently signed up for Tubi. I don't use them very often, but perhaps I should use them more, as there's lots of stuff to watch with those. I probably watch enough TV as it is though..
