Hi... My folks have two tv's in their house that are on cable... No issue there... But they have a third tv (old analog type with local rabbit ears) that can't easily be hooked up to cable and must soon be replaced when digital broadcast takes over next month... My folks are elderly and don't want to do a lot of work, like having cable extended to this location...
I intend to buy them a new TV for this location... It will be a small, flat panel, likely a 19" LCD... And it will likely be HD capable whether it ever see's any HD signals or not.. My question is I about a local antenna for this tv... What should I purchase??? The simplest of what I would call a "rabbit ear" antenna??? Do any TV's still come with an included local "rabbit ear" type antenna??? As likely you can tell, I am not knowledgeable of OTA antennas... What they really want is just the ability to view local channels in their area (Kansas City)... Being able to gather any other OTA channels would be a plus... Bottom line is what antenna should I buy to go along with some new tv and should I make sure that any tv has an RF input??? For an antenna to connect to on the tv??
thanks for any help.... bob...
