    Should be able to snag a cheap set of rabbit ears at Wally World. However, you have just a few months left before even that won't work. Remember, full power television stations will cease broadcasting analog and go strictly digital after Feb 09.

    Wow, that thread's a mess. Any old set of rabbit ears will pick up the digital signal and send it to a TV with a built-in digital tuner. A better antenna will pick up signals better.

    Digital does not require any special antenna (regardless of hype to get you to buy a new one). Use whatever you have now for starters!

    If you are in a fringe area, you might need a bigger or higher antenna or in-line amplifier to avoid occasional "tiling" or loss of signal, but if you were happy with your analog picture, you should be fine with whatever antenna setup you have now.
