Reading back my previous post, I realize that I was probably spoiled by the immense depth and breadth of choices back before everything became owned by the big conglomerates. Having gone from 57 analogue OTA channels to 64 cable channels didn't seem like much difference. Coming back to 36 OTA channels certainly does.
Sorry if I'm asking too much.

this is what came up. I wonder how much has really changed in 20 years?
