A simple air TV set-up?
I would like a simple broadcast tv set-up for my tc. I'm usually in the boonies, with just usually only the minimum channels available, like the three networks. The antennae on the roof is 17 yrs old...

Is it basically junk? I was at WalMart and took a stroll thru the
tv department. There is a digital converter. There is an HD Antenna.
Are most over the air signals broadcast in HD now or no? Isn't the digital converter for connection to an old pre-digital TV? I have a newer LCD TV in a bedroom in the house I can use in the camper. Wouldn't
all I have to do is buy a digital antenna of some kind, and would I need yo even get it to the outside. This HD antenna looked like a nice way to go. It has a flat and narrow profile, wouldn't take up much space. Or is there just a better basic antenna set-up to be had.
Thanks,
Most TV's since 2008 have the built in digital converter. You will get more channels & better reception. Your best bet is to get a outdoor small footprint HD antenna & connect at the old antenna location. You may need to run new coax cable to support HD signalling. Otherwise, purchase an indoor antenna & try it. It may not work as well as outdoor, but. Use an RG6, quad shielded coax cable for best results.
