All of my relatives still use rabbit ears (or a roof-top antenna). I'm the only person in my family with cable. Also, you know the first models will have horrible problems, like any early platforms have (especially cheap models that will be bought with the coupons). My 84-year-old grandma won't be able to ship her broken box back, and she can barely afford her medicines (and can't afford cable) so I guess she has to do without TV? Do you also know that the coupon is only valid for 90 days after it is issued? They are going to delay the mailing of them until after the boxes arrive in stores, but that still only gives people the option of the VERY FIRST models to hit shelves. Wait to get your coupons until more models crop up is my advice. I think this is an obvious money grab by the FCC to reap the rewards of selling frequency bands to cell phone companies at the expense of the elderly and poor. Shameful, but SOP for the FCC.

You will just need a digital converter or digital tv to view over the air TV. Rabbit Ears will still work. You will just need a digital converter or digital tv to view over the air TV.
