I think what you're describing is Locast. They offer OTA stations via
streaming. Not available in all areas, so you may just want to check it
it out.

I know we've discussed this before, but I forget if it's possible/legal to do.

I've got customers in my network footprint that cannot receive public OTA TV because they are blocked from seeing Farnsworth Peak in SLC, UT.

Is it possible technically to live tranceive the entire available spectrum from an area that can receive it and set it up as a streaming service to my own customers in network?

I'm not looking to charge anything, just to provide a solution here that is both legal and effective.

Bandwidth isn't much of a concern, but I don't think I want to just provide the raw DTV entire band(s) and transmit those because they are HUGE.
So I know I would want to live encode everything, and then have some way for customers to decode that maybe just back into coax feed from Ethernet.
