NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 9 months agoNo, because your smartphone needs internet, tv signals reach way more places, and more reliably.
Especially since broadcast tv, in America ya damn Limeys, is free, while internet is either very localized (WiFi, etc…) which may or may not be free, or wide spread (Cell phones, Satellites, etc…) which are definitely pay.

I can watch my local TV channels from the other side of the planet. I don’t think the signal reaches that far.

That that is the difference to me, a tv has a built in tv tuner, otherwise it is a streaming device.
