So this is what I don't get.

The company (Aereo - aereo.com) dedicates a small antenna (and, I guess,
tuner) to you that you can access over the internet for a small monthly
charge. This lets you watch what-ever TV channel the antenna can pick
up.

Now what I don't know is:

- is there really a market for watching TV on a cell phone or tablet?

- are you matched (geographically) to an antenna in your locale, so
that you are only allowed to stream a TV transmission that would
be equivalent to what you could receive OTA where you physically
are at that moment?

But my biggest question is:

If people really do want to watch TV on their mobile devices, then why
on earth hasn't the makers of these devices (phones, tablets) responded
years ago by putting ATSC tuners in them SO YOU CAN WATCH LOCAL TV
DIRECTLY OTA WITHOUT USING ANY INTERNET / DATA BANDWITDH ?

Does anyone have an explanation as to why the cell phone and tablet
market isin't sufficiently competitive such that some maker would have
raised the bar by including an ATSC tuner in at least some versions of
their products?

How on earth can it make sense to stream live OTA tv to a portable
device when the device could have it's own friggen TV tuner built in?
