What is the difference between VHF and UHF antenna?
Do I need to buy one to get the channels on my converter box or antenna I can use old rabbit I still have?
What he said is true. Just use shorter UHF elements. Next year, all stations TV is switched to UHF channels for digital broadcasting. Many, if not most, have and are two-channel broadcasting at this time. Your rabbit ears will working with the converter, as it has done with UHF channels now. After the great change, there will be no VHF channels. All VHF stations will be cut. Finally, in one or two years, some may return to VHF stations, broadcasting in digital format. There are fewer technical problems in VHF, UHF. But it is quite certain that no stations ever return to VHF-Lo (CH 2-6) since it is a band of old-fashioned with its own set of problems. Anyone who becomes, the more likely it will be on VHF-Hi (CH 7 – 13). Your rabbit ears will work with the converter, as it always has to VHF. Antennas do not care if it's digital or analog. They have just received the signal. It's the tuner worries about digital and analog. So do not let slick marketers try explaining that you need some new "digital" antenna. Will end selling the same thing you already have.
