IMO OTA sucks. It's like we are back in the 1980s. Hopefully DirecTV will figure something out.
I don't see the issue. It's not like the reception is the same as the 80's. I get legit HD quality from OTA broadcasts.
My guide lists all the live channels I have available from all apps as well as OTA so I'm a little spoiled in having everything in one place but even without that it should be as easy as changing the input source on your TV like you're watching a DVD or something.
