If you installed a converter box, but are still having difficulty receiving digital channels, you may need to consider an alternative outdoor antenna. A great online resource for determining what kind of antenna can be found on AntennaWeb.org. This mapping program provided by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), locates the proper antenna to receive your local television broadcast channels. Based on geographical maps and signal strengths, just enter your ZIP Code and AntennaWeb locates the best antenna for you.

And while you’re there, check out the Rabbit Ears Pioneers contest. If you know an elderly individual that relies on broadcast TV signals and an antenna for their programming, Rabbit Ears Pioneers offers ways to make the DTV transition easier for them.
