Yeah, there is quite a difference nowadays, television and internet-wise. Here's what I get for subchannels in the metro Detroit area OTA, just for comparison.
Movies! Bounce Quest PBS Create
Buzzr Laff Justice PBS World
H&I CourtTV CoziTV StartTV
Decades AntennaTV Comet TBD
ThisTV CourtTV Mystery Charge! PBS Kids
MeTV Grit DABL ION
With all of the main new networks included, it is literally an OTA basic cable system.
Too bad these couldn't be mux'ed and put up on Ku-band on one satellite, in the clear.
