Tagger, how old is your TV? If it was made in the last 3 or 4 years it should already have a digital tuner built in. Look for an "ATSC" decal or logo somewhere on it. Just hook up rabbit ears or a UHF antenna and do a channel scan. Depending on how far away the transmitters are you'll be able to receive a bunch of channels. Just type your zipcode in at tvfool.com and it'll give you a list, with recommended antenna type.

If your TV is older you'll need a converter (basically just a digital tuner). The gubbermint was subsidizing these a couple of years ago. I've got an extra that I'm not using if you want it. Just let me know.
