okay, you know they said a coupla years ago that everybody had to get a converter box or else you wouldn't be able to watch any TV? THEY LIED! I am in Ann Arbor Michigan and i get 4 channels - Fox2.1 Detroit, CBC 9.1 Windsor Canada, CBS 11.1 Toledo Ohio, and ME-TV 11.2 Toledo, from the apartment bldg rooftop air antenna. I don't get NBC or ABC. I watch too much tv, so I was gonna go cold turkey when they went digital, but they fooled me. So if you just plug a set into your old tv antenna, if it's still up, you'll probably get something. there are things you can buy to connect them, but usually they come with the set.
