These higher bands require either a digital converter--which an areal antenna or rabbit ears plugs into--or for the person wanting tv to subscribe to digital TV service.
If you already have cable tv--nothing changes you are already on digital channels. If not, you need to either get cable or buy one of those converter boxes (at Best buy or where-ever) to plug your rabbit ears and tv into..

Hey, T1, thank for the answer. The reason I am asking actually is because it brought me back to about 20 years ago when RD Whalen was preaching about how the antichrist was going to use fiberoptics so they could keep tabs on every household. Do you remember that? Anyway, can they keep better tabs on us with this stuff?? LOL! It sounds pretty far out but I still have those old tapes in my head and with the economy and Obama and all that, well, I had to ask!
