I want to watch the superbowl from twitter: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/technology/with-nfl-deal-...
I have no idea how to watch the superbowl and I tried several apps. I had cable tv for like 1 year of highschool, and haven't felt any reason to purchase for myself since, but some things, like the superbowl / Olympics / World Cup etc. would be really great to be able to watch - no I'm not going to deal with cable / buying a TV just for 1-3 events yearly.
Interesting idea. It's been said that lack of alternatives to viewing sporting events is the biggest reason the remaining cable subscriber base hasn't cut the cord yet. Definitely an area sorely in need of disruption.
but you'll probably need a better directional antenna to have good reception (depends on the specific part of the world for how strong the signal is).
Once you're used to fast internet you won't want any of that though. Streaming HDTV on a 50Mbps+ internet connection ends up being a better experience since you don't have to go through all the setup hassle to make this work equivalently (installing the antenna, connecting it to a dongle on your own server, installing some kind of head end software, streaming from that server over your own network). I've done both and the antenna setup is now fully deprecated.
