Did you read where each antenna is 1/4 of an inch. Do you REALLY believe each 1/4" antenna is going to pick up all the OTA broadcasts in the area? These tiny antennas are a fraud and the OTA broadcasts would be picked up by conventional antennas or by aggregating all the tiny antennas together to get the signals. If either method is used, then the claim that each user has their own personal antenna is a massive lie and is a legal fiction to get around copyright law.

Sooo..... maybe just go look for yourself instead of assuming? Plenty of people throughout the ages of man have said, "That's just not possible.", and have been dead wrong. |

I just used an online antenna calculator, and for UHF TV stations, it would require antennae between 2 31/32in. and 1 19/32in. to cover the approximate UHF broadcasting range of 470 MHz to 890 MHz, at least for 1/8 wavelength antennae (the smallest the calculator would do).
I'm not very learned on radio transmission, but they would need something around 1/32 wavelength to get down to 1/4 in. antennae. If that would still pick up a signal, they could just have the antennae very close to the source transmission so that they would not require very much gain. |

I seen in person, I been in that datacenter. They choose location in brooklyn with large windows facing Empire State building. They have direct line of sight to the emitters. So what makes you think that you need crazy antenna to pick it up? Do you have electrical engineering degree to back it what you THINK? Location, location, location.
