Our TVs are so good and couches so comfortable and beer in the fridge so convenient and cheap, ....

All true, but for me it's as much or more-- kids' sports games and traveling to tournaments and marching band and whatever else is going on.  

Costco of course puts their TVs up front and center, good marketing.  And I'm astonished how good they are, even the lesser quality ones not of the newest type.  I think mine is a 65" 1K TV and it is amazing really.  I look at the new 80 inchers and imagine it on my wall, maybe not the QLED version or whatever, but some almost as good version.

As I always highlight, half the marketing there is showing you content that is SO much better than nearly anything you'll ever watch. It's basically uncompressed and optimized to look amazing.

Anything you watch broadcast/cable/satellite/IPTV/streaming will be EXTREMELY compressed compared to that and won't look anywhere near as good. 

If you watch a bunch of 4K HDR movies that you've purchased on physical media, they should look outstanding. But literally everything else will be too compressed to make use of the technology in these TVs.

Over the air ATSC3.0 is on its way and already available in some areas.

ATSC 3.0: Everything You Need to Know About ‘NextGen’ TV | Next TV

The so-called “[color=var(--flexi-secondary_color_4)]NextGen[/iurl]” broadcast technology standard, widely known is [color=var(--flexi-secondary_color_4)]ATSC 3.0[/color], is here. Capable of 4K and HDR picture resolutions, as well as advanced Dolby audio wherewithal, among other features, ATSC 3.0 is the first major overhaul to the Advanced Television Systems Committee’s standard for sending and receiving over-the-air (OTA) signals since the group first introduced ATSC 1.0 back in 1996.[/font][/size][/color]
ATSC 2.0 was never able to get off the launch pad—it was skipped altogether. But some of its upgrades, however, made it into the ATSC 3.0 standard.

I''m not sure what broadcast TV I am interested in watching right now. 

Not much right now, but lots of college football on ABC and Fox in the Fall.  And, NBC too I guess, if that's your thing.

Next wave of new TVs will have the proper tuner, or you could buy an external tuner that can decode the signal.

Sign of the times that a thread on going to football games turns into which TV allows the best game watching experience at home.

Not only does "going out" cost so much more these days (bar tabs, parking fees, etc) but the general experience of leaving your home has gone downhill. Panhandlers walking right up to your car at every red light, angrier than ever customer/fan behavior, endless road construction, long lines and large crowds most everywhere you go (speaking for Southern California).
