Kind of off topic, but the part about the rabbit ears is not correct.

As you might know, those are the VHF antennas.  I have one or two 
stations in my area (Portland Oregon area) that broadcast the digital 
signal on the high VHF band.

My Radio Shack UHF couldn't pick up enough for Myth to lock on until I 
pointed my old VHF wind catcher at the broadcast antennas.

Went from nothing to 85-90% signal.  :-)
