Re: Old Antenna's don't work. The FCC may put that out there, but really not enforced. Just like those crazy silly laws in states and cities that are not enforced. Example: A Ohio law
Women are prohibited from wearing patent leather shoes in public.

Also apartment complexes give you warnings if your balcony is too clutter. You have to follow their rules or your gone and its not just for apartment complexes, it goes for condos and Trailer parks for following their rules or your gone. From the sound of it, I guess it's not like this outside of Michigan. |

I am on the edge now and need a huge antenna on my roof to get it. I just changed my zip code to Buffalo (I had to call and explain they must have gotten it wrong) so I can watch Buffalo stations, about 2 hours away. Erie is my market but DirecTV does not have the local stations from Erie.
So OTA was out of the question anyway, or at least it sucked. I am really screwed after the "upgrade". |

You have to follow their rules or your gone They may threaten to evict, so at that point you take a copy of the FCC ruling and a picture of your antenna/satellite installation to the judge and I guarantee it will be thrown out. The Federal rules will trump the lease or association rules as long as you stay within the guidelines. In my case, I own my house, so I can install anything reasonable without issue. |

Actually your statement should read "You may not need a new antenna." It depends on your location and the frequencies that will be transmitted. |

| I live about 30 miles form the nearest TV station and my cheapo bedroom TV with a digital converter box picks up eleven digital channnels with rabbit ears, so a test with inexpensive antennas is worth a try.
All the seniors I know (I am one, BTW) not only know about it, they're griping about the continual crawls and ads for DTV2009.
