or placing it higher can often improve reception. Many antennas need to be oriented or aimed to
get the best signal from the desired station.
For indoor antennas, you may need to do this manually by trial and error. For outdoor antennas, a
rotor that re-orients the antenna can improve performance, particularly when trying to receive
stations that transmit from different locations.

3. I currently use rabbit ears and can receive analog signals. How will the transition to
digital affect my reception? Will I have to get an outdoor antenna instead?
Simple indoor antennas, such as rabbit ears, provide minimal performance that may or may not
be suitable for your location. If you are unable to obtain satisfactory reception with your current
indoor antenna, you may wish to obtain an indoor antenna that includes features for better

outdoor antenna and are getting good quality reception from VHF and UHF channels, your
antenna should work fine for digital television. Back to index
