It was briefly syndicated, I think; I watched the first season on the local ABC affiliate. In my area a tiny little TV station in the middle of a cornfield got the rights to TNG and I honestly think that’s what kept that station afloat. The affiliates fought over DS9 and VOY. There was a UPN station in my region but it was too week for me to watch it OTA.
I gave up on it because I've tried logging in via Jeroba, Connect, and Voyager on my phone, and no bueno. I don't mind putting in some effort but eventually I give up.
