digital antenna??

Hi all. Does anyone know of an B+M store that sells digital tv antenna's? I'd like to check them out in person/see them, before buying one. Many thanks for any input.

There is no such thing. Digital antennas are normal antennas that have a buzzword attached to the name. There is no difference. Any old antenna will work.

Jeremy is right. I would add that you should go to www.antennaweb.org and enter your address to see recommendations for what type and size of antenna you should get.

They come with a buzzword and a higher price, but offer no difference. Now, if you want to receive the signals from your antenna and watch the digital ones, you will need a digital tuner in your TV (or the conversion box), right?

I've used rabbit ears for years to receive HD OTA.

I've had an old antennae on top of my house for over 30 years and it picks up all my local HD channels that cable doesn't carry. You need to go to anntennaweb.org as suggested earlier to know exactly where to point it to.
