You can get a pretty good indoor antenna from Walmart for $30, to watch free digital HD channels. The weather channel on DirecTV sucks, and whenever we have a storm DirecTV doesn’t even work, but the antenna doesn’t have that problem most of the time, and the local free weather station is great.

My best set of rabbit ears is a 1959 set of Rembrandt rabbit ears my parents got as a wedding gift. That set was sold well into the 1960's. It even beats a set of amplified rabbit ears I have. I like to watch WWE wrestling out of Wheeling, WV on one of the subchannels and it pulls it in 90% of the time, the amplifies does not.

What I have is just a flat square, not rabbit ears. Long ago when I actually used rabbit ears, I remember having to move them around a lot to get decent reception. The flat square stays in one place and works fine. The new antennas should be designed to receive digital signals.
