Well considering many paid tiers of streaming services also serve ads, I consider it free-er than that.

Also, most of the hardware is already inside your TV. You just need a $20 antenna.

I have no TV. I watch all my movies and series via a big PC screen which has no TV functionality.

Ah. Well if your PC is static, a USB tuner isn't too much. Plus then you have a built-in DVR.
