TV will not work. Digital TVs only work with cable, DSL. Antenna will do you no good anymore.

You will have to get one of those converter - sm
boxes in order to continue getting your local channels then. I believe you can get a coupon on-line for $50 off or something. Research before you buy as some brands supposedly work better than others.
I blieve you need to get the converter box -sm
look on line for digital converter or something like that, they had $50 coupons for it for the longest time. The biggest antenna in the world won't help you w/o the converter box. Or if you want to solve the problem another way, go out and buy a digital TV, you can get a very nice flat screen for $250. My daughter has the only digital TV in the house, a very nice Insignia, was about $220, 19" screen, weighs about 5-10 pounds, light as a feather.
I'm pretty sure OP has a converter box
You STILL need a good antenna to get free TV, even with a converter box.
If you have a digital TV, you need a VHF/UHF antenna, no converter box....sm
If you do not have a digital TV, you need a coverter box and a VHF/UHF antenna.
And in both cases you have to do a channel re-scan.
