We'll have to see. Broadcasters should be able to set up dozens of
repeaters in their coverage area. It remains to be seen how many will
actually do that. Except for fringe areas, you will probably be able to
receive a couple of OTA television stations. Which two will vary wildly
with your geography. Of course, each station will be able to broadcast
up to half a dozen data streams, if they can come up with the
programming.
