As a kid I imagined the future as being able to hold a TV in your pocket, and flying skateboards. For the latter I guess electric scooters will have to do

Your point?
That that is the difference to me, a tv has a built in tv tuner, otherwise it is a streaming device.
So? Not sure why the difference matters. What is even the use or a tuner anymore?
Tuning into OTA broadcasts.
Which has significantly worse picture quality than cable or fiber, has fewer channels and isn’t even significantly cheaper
Free is absolutely cheaper than paying anything
Here you get a grand total of three shitty channels for free OTA. Anything more requires a subscription.
Oh no.
Here, in the middle of nowhere, like a town with 1500 people was the biggest thing in 20 miles or so, we got about 10-15 channels without even having the antenna outside the house, plus surrounded by forest.
We have more OTA channels, you just have to pay for them. The free channels are in shitty SD quality (you have to pay for HD) and they are only unencrypted because the government requires it (as they are used for emergency broadcasts).
