The headline is kind of misleading, rabbit ears are not the problem. It’s the analog TV. rabbit ears can pick up digital signals but the signal will have to be converted via settop box if the TV is not digital.

Not as pretty as the NAB DTV site, nor as noisy as the FCC’s. But I probably have more about converter boxes than those sites.

I suspect it’s going to be more than one in five antenna households…they’ve been pretty slow to buy DTVs, as a recent APTS study shows.

I’m just hurt that the NYT didn’t send people to my website instead of those of the FCC and its lobbyists. Or they could have sent them here, for that matter — your site looks beautiful.
