Next Gen TV is free 4K TV with an antenna, and it's coming to TVs this year
CES 2020 saw the official arrival of TVs with Next Gen TV, also known as ATSC 3.0. Upgrades for antenna users include 4K, HDR, 120Hz refresh rates and better indoor reception.

CES 2020 was the official launch of Next Gen TV, aka ATSC 3.0. By the end of the year, 61 markets will be broadcasting, and 20 different models from 3 manufacturers -- LG, Samsung and Sony -- will be available with built-in tuners. Don't be surprised to see other manufacturers follow suit. Standalone tuner boxes that you can connect to any TV are also on their way.
Next Gen TV is the latest version of over-the-air antenna TV. Its broadcasts have the capability to carry high-quality Ultra HD 4K video, High Dynamic Range and wide color gamut, high frame rates up to 120Hz, and more. Like current over-the-air TV broadcasts -- and unlike cable, satellite or live TV streaming -- it will be free. You'll just need an antenna and a TV with a built-in Next Gen TV tuner, or separate tuner that can decode it. ATSC 3.0 proponents also claim better reception indoors and on the go, perhaps on your phone or even to your car.
One potential downside for consumers? ATSC 3.0 will also let broadcasters track your viewing habits, information that can be used for targeted advertising, just like companies such as Facebook and Google use today.
If you get your TV from streaming, cable or satellite, Next Gen TV/ATSC 3.0 won't affect you at all.
The transition is voluntary. Stations don't have to switch. Many will, however, for reasons we'll explain below.
It's not backwards-compatible with the current HD (ATSC 1.0) standard, so your current TV won't be able to receive it. Your current antenna should work fine though.
Stations that switch to Next Gen TV will still have to keep broadcasting ATSC 1.0 for five years.
20 models from Sony, Samsung, and LG will have built-in tuners starting with the 2020 model year.
Stations across the country are already receiving 3.0 licenses, and several are already broadcasting.
Stations in the largest 40 TV markets in the US have committed to broadcasting Next Gen TV by the end of 2020, with over 60 markets total covering roughly 70% of the US population.

Kindly go be stupid somewhere else, preferably in your beloved unc thread.Kickstart wrote:Level Crime and murders and this government studying FTA.

2026 seems a bit ambitious, most people would need to purchase ATSC 3.0 tuners and gov't may have to subsidize these devices.
Yes but it's mostly high-end TVs from the last 2 years. No budgets sets have 3.0 IIRCredmanjp wrote:finally. Do any current TVs on the market have ATSC 3 tuners? they should at least have ATSC 1. Those that dont would need ATSC3 converter boxes.
