| We are adding an LCD TV to our sleeping quarters and need recommendations for an HDTV antenna to receive off air channels when camping. Thanks for the help. |

Location: North Carolina | A regular antenna should do the job for you. I don't see how an antenna can be different for HDTV versus analog TV. The radio frequencies are the same. Anybody know different?? |

Location: sc | Well for one thing a regular antenna wont work after February. http://www.dtv.gov/ As for what kind, we have a Philips antenna from WalMart in the break room at work, seems to work fine. Thing about digital, it either come in or doesnt.....no more snow when messing with the rabbit ears. |

Location: Tennessee | The newer TV's such as LCD's have a digital tuner built in, all you need is an RV antenna. If you use an old TV it will require the digital converter box. Any RV antenna will work. I am receiving the digital signals now using the Wynegard antenna |

"Don't need no stinkin' HDTV or DTV antenna"... even after February 2009! see here >>> http://www.dtv.gov/consumercorner.html#faq12 |

Just showed that to the warehouse manager (he is the one watching TV, and bought the converter box/antenna), he is PISSED!!
