Will I still entail an antenna to carry local channel on a digital tv?

In California, I have a deep-seated tv. I also have a ghastly antenna sitting higher than the tv. I don't subscribe to any tv service. I like my local channel and my ghastly antenna helps me see them acceptably clearly.

My 1st question is, if I buy a digital tv right immediately, will I be able to keep under surveillance local channels minus the antenna right now?

2nd sound out is, will I need an antenna after 2/09 on a digital tv to survey local channels?

No, you will still inevitability an antenna. The same kind of antennas that are used for the older analog TV.

>will I need an antenna after 2/09 on a digital tv to examine local channels?

You will still requirement an antenna. Digital TV broadcasts use the same frequency band as the old analog broadcasts.

You do not enjoy to buy a new TV. A cheap converter box can be placed between your antenna that allows them to receive digital tv.

If you don't close to the way your current TV antenna looks, why not newly buy a better looking antenna? Take a look at the Winegard SS-3000, one of the best indoor antennas.
Don't know if this helps but I hear that there is going to be a transformation in broadcast standards where on earth all local channel will have to broadcast digital, no more analog. Which method no antennas will work. Again I heard this from a TV commercial promotion for cable so I don't know how much truth there is too it. You may want to hail as your local TV station and find out.
