Remember when people just used an antenna, the picture was fine with NO buffering, and during commercials one would grab food and hit the restroom?

I still watch over-the-air TV on my Mac Pro from time-to-time, using EyeTV and an antiquated dongle that has been out of production since at least 2010.

Works just fine to receive the Super Bowls, streaming to any devices connected over the local network with no authentication required is possible, and there is typically less delay compared to an internet live stream as well.

Since people can’t pronounce iPhone X properly as iPhone Ten.

This is pronounced Super Bowl Lee!

Super Bowl LIII = Super Bowl 53
Mac OS X = Mac OS Ten
iPhone X = iPhone Ten
iPhone XS = iPhone Excess

Not at all. Puppy Bowl is a big thing in millions of households the same day.

There's four good things about the Super Bowl:
  1. Puppy Bowl
  2. Sometimes the halftime show (Lady Gaga was fun)
  3. The ads
  4. Often it's a great time to go to that nearby overly-busy amusement park (etc.), as much of the usual crowd is home watching TV.

The only real problem was, the text of the name "iPhone X" leaked long before the official presentation, leading to weeks of people discussing the "iPhone ecks". If it hadn't leaked, if they'd gone up on stage for the grand unveiling and said "iPhone ten" while showing "iPhone X" up on the screen - if that moment had been the first anyone knew of the name - considerably fewer would have had trouble with the name.

There was no leak or confusion when OS X was first announced, yet people continued to call it Oh Ess Ecks for over a decade.

Here's an interesting test, I'm not at my mac to try it though. In terminal, how does the "say" command say it? I know it used to be that if you typed in "say OS X" it would say Oh Ess Ten. I wonder what it would say if you typed "say iPhone X"...

Interesting indeed. I just tried (though, on Sierra, not High Sierra):

[1]> say OS X (computer replies "Oh Ess Ten")
[2]> say iPhone X (computer replies "iPhone Ecks")​

I’m not in front of my Mac but doing it on High Sierra or Mojave would be the way to test it as the iPhone X came out after Sierra.
