This may have been discussed already - I didn't do a search. I don't have a TV in my trailer but for those who do and do NOT have a satellite dish ... you will need the analog - digital converter for your horse trailer, camper, etc.

I'm curious about the antenna. I have a 2005 trailer, so the antenna dates back to probably 2004/2005. I just put a TV in last year so should be fine on the TV. But does the antenna need to be upgraded?

If you already have a digital TV you do not need a converter. You may need to have the TV do a search or reprogram it to get the digital signals (ex.-channel 3.2 instead of channel 10).

Most of the antennas are fine. But you will need to buy a converter box for any analog tV's. Which is one more piece of hard you need to haul along and power off your generator. I've yet to see an Analog to Digital converter that is 12v
