Getting Rid of Cable - How Does the Antenna Thing Work?

[disney1990]

The antenna works for non-HDTVs including black and white TVs also provided you connect a converter box in between in a manner similar to connecting a VCR. You leave the TV tuned to channel 3 or channel 4 and the remote control that comes with the box is used to change channels.

Some converter boxes are still being sold in stores like Best Buy for as low as about $40. although they don't have any more red plastic coupons that allow you to get the box for free.

I was just checking. Yes, I know about converter boxes, we use one on one of our older televisions. Just wanted to check, because in our area, it's impossible to find the boxes any more.
