The TV rabbit ears are still around in some homes today although they are rapidly being replaced and thrown out. This is because now most people have either satellite or cable TV and these signals are distributed through a cable or a satellite digitally.

Digital signals have gradually replaced the need for transmitting analog signals that rabbit ears can pick up. Before digital signals, cable and satellite dishes also contributed to the decline in rabbit ears.
