My trailer has the crank up antenna. What will I need so that my TV works when that change over is made? And is it expensive? Thanks, Jesse

If you have a digital tv you are set. Otherwise you will need a converter. Antennae works either way.

I do have a digital tv, but I thought that the antenna would not receive the signal. Maybe I misunderstood. Thanks, Jesse

If you do indeed have a digital TV, you will not have to do anything at all in February. Your good to go just as you are.
The antennas are the same for both analog and digital.
Only those people (like me) who have an older analog TV will have to purchase a converter that converts digital back to analog for our older TVs.

If you already have a digital TV then you are probably already receiving some digital channels.

The only thing you will need if you do not already have is a TV capable of receiving digital signals or a converter. The antenna is the same.
