      Idk if you’re being sarcastic or anything, but I’ll actually answer the question. Apologies if this is unnecessary.

      You can hook up an Over the Air antenna (like one listed in this article ), which you can hook up directly to a lot of TVs I think.

      Instead of connecting to your TV, you can get an IP Tv Tuner, like HDHomeRun. This let’s you connect the antenna to your home network and access the feed from your computer and their app. It also provides a video stream that Jellyfin and Plex (I’d bet Kodi as well) can access.

        Please stop doing this to us

        (When we were little, we had a Jiffy-Pop™ handle for an antenna on our tiny black and white set so we could pick up one channel, the local ABC affiliate)

          Lol, growing up, my brothers would have to spin an array right outside the living room to get the signal right for Saturday morning cartoons. We’ve come a long way.

            One sacrificial kid sometimes gets stuck there, holding the antenna in place. One of the many reasons we needed bigger families in the days of yore.
