I did a search of "rabbit ears" on amazon and it seems to have come back with a bunch of generic antennas.

says only 34 channels and need antenna for 150 miles. but is a converter needed for off the air reception?? thanks for the info

The converter depends on your TV. I had to get one when they switched back in the day because of our ancient TV but anything new should already be set up for the digital signal.

I'm not even sure rabbit ears would work with the new signal. Try Radio Shack, you can return it if it doesn't work out and I think the major networks should come in well if you're anywhere close to KC.

Apparently RS does have rabbit ears.

your right. back when they converted the signal to digital we were still using the old NTSC format. so a converter was needed back then. ill check with RS and see if they stock ears. I do know some people who have ears as a back up to cable. the originals had the flat 300 ohm wire for connection. so hopefully they come with a 75 ohm coaxial cable. other wise an adapter is needed.

well I bought a cable modem today to replace the one I had. this one is lightning fast compared to the one I had from cable.. plus now I save 10 bucks a mon. gotta go turn their's in and back to the hunt for those ears
