ATSC 3.0 On A Boat: Free Live TV Without Internet!

In this video, I'm in downtown Buffalo, where I'm testing WNYO-TV, the ATSC 3.0 lighthouse in Buffalo, NY, on the water in a boat. I test the over-the-air signal while going slow in Canalside, and going fast in Lake Erie.

Using free over-the-air TV in a boat has never been better. Since ATSC 3.0 is OFDM based, and since broadcasters are implementing their signals with multipath immunity (broadcasters can "turn off" multipath immunity with their ATSC 3.0 stations to make the signal slightly more robust but none of them are doing it), ATSC 3.0 signals don't suffer from multipath interference. This is great for applications like boats where you are constantly moving, or rocking up and down.

Since ATSC 3.0 uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to send data (like live TV channels), and doesn't require the internet, many boaters in remote areas could see live Internet Protocol information sent to their boat for the first time, using this technology.
