Don't do this. You can get a tuner and a little PC to get HDTV over the air with no accounts or ongoing costs.

You can do it for less than you would spend on a single year of a similar cable package.

HDHomeRun, a linux PC, and Jellyfin and you're good to go.

Welcome to 1950 again... except broadcast channels are a small portion of modern content. You're not getting anything offered through the cable/satellite channels, or any of the streaming services which increasingly have nothing to do with broadcast companies.
