Low power TV station takes advantage of the fact most TVs support H.264 and HEVC video codecs to broadcast 14 HD programs over the air.

I am not really sure what ATSC3.0 brings that 1.0 doesn't have besides the codec features. I doubt it adds much on the bandwidth side.

What I Think its adding is additional broadcast streams over the internet but integrated into the TV experience. This also means that all ATSC 3.0 TVs require a live internet connection, I think. So think the worst invasive monitoring and control of smart TVs forced on you just to watch broadcast television.

I have zero interest in ATSC 3.0.
