Back during the FIFA World Cup, I got tired of hunting places playing the games. I didn't have cable and had no interest in paying to watch. So, I went out and bought an antenna and connected it directly to the TV.

Fast forward a few months later, my wife was tired of looking at the precariously balanced antenna and asked me to move it. As temps had finally dropped, I went into the attic and installed the thing. Ran the cable around the beams and down a tube into the house. Got the idea to buy a splitter so I could share the antenna between the main TVs.

First thing I watched were the final 15 minutes of ST:TNG season 2, episode 9, The Measure of a Man. RIP Sir Patrick Stewart.

I don't know if you're joking or genuinely curious, but here goes: Over-the-air (OTA) typically refers to ATSC television broadcast in the US. There are many non-OTA antenna types that could be mounted to a house including the following: geostationary satellite, LEO satellite, PTP microwave, AM, FM, shortwave, LoRa mesh, and others.
