Ok, February 17th was going to be doomsday for analog TV reception in the US but that all changed a few weeks ago. It has been pushed to June 12th, 2009.
I actually purchased some of the digital converters and antenna for some TVs in my house that are not connected to cable TV.
After connecting the antenna and the converter box, I was able to pull in about 20 TV stations with incredible quality. Some from a city 56 miles away. It kind of made me wonder why I pay extra for these channels on my cable bill. The connection of the equipment was relatively simple but there was some re-wiring that was needed for the VCR and DVD player.
There is a great site that can give you the exact settings for the different TV stations in your area by typing in your zip code.
Here is the link: http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/Welcome.aspx
If you have an omnidirectional antenna, you will not need the settings but it does give you a list of the TV stations and their network.
Enjoy the transition!
