This article is about ATSC 3.0 broadcasts, retransmitted inside homes over
WiFi, to any IP device. I post this primarily to point out the following
(quoted directly from the article):
"The Wireless Network Antenna also is designed to receive current ATSC 1.0 DTV
transmissions and similarly route them to an array of consumer devices."
Exactly. The IP overhead added, as required, when required.

NAB 2016: LG Demos ATSC 3.0 Wireless Network Antenna
April 18, 2016
Posted by Deborah D. McAdams
LAS VEGAS-LG Electronics is demonstrating a new wireless network antenna
designed to receive and process ATSC 3.0 television broadcast signals and
redistribute them via Wi-Fi throughout the home to connected devices such as
smart TVs, tablets, laptop computers and smartphones.
After a two-year development process, the company is demonstrating the 3.0
smart antenna for the first time at the NAB Show. It is a featured product in
the "ATSC 3.0 Consumer Experience" exhibit, co-hosted by the NAB, the Consumer
Technology Association and the Advanced Television Systems Committee.
The ATSC 3.0 wireless network antenna is based on an LG-developed
unidirectional antenna array with electronic steering logic designed to
optimize indoor reception. LG is integrating a chip-based ATSC 3.0
tuner-demodulator with the antenna, which can be placed anywhere in a home-the
attic, in a window, in a closet-wherever reception is best.
The steerable network antenna is coupled with a network interface to
communicate with the in-home WiFi router to allow connected devices to blend
ATSC 3.0 signals and services with over-the-top Internet-delivered content. The
Wireless Network Antenna also is designed to receive current ATSC 1.0 DTV
transmissions and similarly route them to an array of consumer devices.
Development of the LG ATSC 3.0 wireless network antenna, which began in 2014,
is a joint effort of LG's Zenith R&D Lab in Lincolnshire, Ill., and the office
of the Chief Technology Officer, LG Electronics, in Seoul, Korea.
Expected to redefine TV broadcasting for decades to come, the next-generation
ATSC 3.0 broadcast television system is being designed to deliver 4K UHD
services, robust reception on mobile devices and improved spectrum efficiency.
LG and Zenith are key contributors to ATSC standards activities, including
development of core technologies in the majority of the ATSC 3.0 Physical Layer
transmission system.
