     my guy, everywhere but the US, every house has a TV antenna and the TVs are plugged into it because it's the simplest way to get TV to everyone

     @izzy only very major cities even have TV transmitters in the US, the vast suburban sprawl is too far away to pick up TV without a 20ft-above-horizon aerial. also in the US the cable companies have exceptions from the communications decency act so they can provide channels illegal to put to the air
