What hardware do I need to watch Local channels in High Definition?
ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, WB, UPN, and Fox stations in most markets are now broadcasting digitally. In order to receive digital local broadcasts in your home, you will need an antenna. This ranges from rabbit ears to medium or large YAGI-type (arrow-shaped) antennas to medium or large grille-type antennas with bowtie shapes attached to them. If you are within 30 miles of a full-power digital transmitter, rabbit ears or a small grille-type antenna should provide acceptable reception. Otherwise, you will need to investigate other options. A very useful website for determining what antenna you will need is AntennaWeb.org (http://www.antennaweb.org/). By entering your ZIP code, you will find out which stations are with ~100 miles of you, sorted by proximity and labeled with the strength of antenna you will need. It is beyond the scope of this document to provide a complete list of recommended antennas, but you should consider: Zenith Silver Sensor (http://www.zenith.com/sub_prod/product_Display.
