Can I use an anntena for a digital TV if I don't have cable?
You can if the local TV stations are not to far away, select a VHF/UHF antenna. If the stations are far away, mount the antenna as high as possible. Check with your neighbors that have antennas.
Are there tvs made with built-in antennas that do not need an antenna hooked up to them?
There are a few small, portable televisions that have inbuilt aerials. They have been around in the analog days and new versions have digital receivers. The thing that they all have in common is that they don't work well. The built in aerial needs a very strong signal to be effective. Some people are lucky enough to use them in good signal areas, most others have to put up with intermittent pictures or very limited channels. If you can, try before you buy and in the areas that you will be using it if you buy it.
In 2009 what happens to people with televisions who use antennas for reception?
You can still receive TV signals by antenna, but the signals can only be read by high definition receivers. "New" TVs, VCRs, Satellite boxes and Cable boxes will be labeled as HD ready, so they can translate high definition transmissions, but older, analog based TVs and VCRs will require an adaptor to translate the HD signal. From what I understand, adaptors will soon be available for about $70 to $80 each and there are supposed to be coupons or vouchers available that will offer a $40 discount (one coupon per family) to the general public.
How many people still use antenna for tv?
Not sure, but I do and I imagine that the number is increasing everyday; as more and more people realize how much money they waist on cable or satellite.
Why my hdtv can get signal from my antena?
An over the air television through an antenna is what people used to use back in the golden age of television, before there was anything like a coaxial cable, and when there were three or four channels at the most. OTA channels still very much exist and with the OTA update that was made when it became clear that HD was here to stay, you can now get HDTV antennas and watch those major channels with a crystal clear picture, without befooing tied down to a cable provider.
