In the USA, many people work just as Carlos describes, with two sims,
one for work and one for non-work.

So, if you can make people pay for cable, and sell advertising too,
that's going to bring in a lot more money than over the air.
But maybe it's the mountains in Switzerland that get in the way. And
they have to spend a lot of money for repeaters. Maryland has mountains

But neither WJZ nor WBAL could afford the expense of a new tower on
their own, especially when the stations sought to go as high as the law allowed. The solution was a partnership between the neighboring stations
to build one gigantic tower topped with two separate transmitter masts.
When Baltimore’s oldest TV station, WMAR, heard of this plan, station managers decided they wanted in. WMAR worried that if viewers could get
two stations by pointing their antennas in one direction they wouldn’t bother making adjustments to tune in to WMAR—especially if their
broadcast looked worse than the competition coming from the new tower. Baltimore’s three TV stations struck a unique deal to share one gigantic tower, a tower topped with three separate transmitter masts, a first at
the time.
In Baltimore, most of the TV stations
are on Television Hill.

In Phoenix they are on a 2K+ foot tall mountain. Great coverage. When my
cable goes out I can just plug in the rabbit ears to keep my TV addiction going...
I have a big antenna in the attic and an antenna amplifier and when
things are good, I can get all the Baltimore stations and all but some
minor DC stationns. Before that I had 2 amplified antennas in a row,
and each failed. This amp might have failed too, but I don't feel like >going into the attic to find out. So no DC stations now.
