This is a bit of a complicated issue. In many instances, a simple indoor (rabbit-ear-type) antenna will suffice. In other cases, a rooftop antenna will be necessary. As a general rule of thumb, if you need an outdoor (rooftop) antenna to receive conventional (analog ) TV signals, you will need one for DTV signals. For help in selecting an antenna for DTV use, check out a special Web site developed by the Consumer Electronics Association: http://www.antennaweb.org.
