You can also get a digital TV antenna (< $100) since most of them are still being broadcast, somewhere. This gives you the FULL experience of having to know when the shows are "on." /s

Of course if you live in an apartment that may not work.

You do not need to spend $100. You do not need to spend $1 if you have some scrap laying around. TV antennas are super easy to build!

Will this still work now that VHF and UHF are no more?

I don’t know about outside of the US, but “HDTV” in the US is on the same old vhf and uhf bands as their analog predecessors exempting some carve outs for cellular. The antenna lengths will be the same.
