Rooftops and Rabbit Ears
If you rely on over-the-air reception with “rabbit ears” or a rooftop antenna, you should get even better reception in the digital world—and more channels to boot! DTV allows broadcasters to transmit several TV programs at once—called multicasting—and these programs are available right now to consumers who choose to receive their DTV signal over-the-air. A new generation of antennas that are optimized for digital and HD delivery are available at your local retailer. Check out www.AntennaWeb.org for information about the type of antenna that’s right for you. If Your World Is Flat
