(Assuming you mean DVB-T). In some place OTA is just the standard. Where I'm from cable TV is simply unheard of and all terrestrial digital channels are free with varying degree of ads.

Another great example of how things work so different in different parts of the world

So you only pay for the extraterrestrial channels?

You pay a small tax for public channels (that should have no ads) and you pay for satellite tv
