EDIT
It's analog...NTSC-M

The TV in my office has budget UHF/VHF Radio Shack (15-1864) rabbit ears. I don't get some of the local channels. I can't use cable or satellite here.
Do they have rabbit ear antennas that are better than others?

TV is a Superscan 19TVD3S

Is there something here that would indicate the type of tuner?

I believe you need a UHF antenna to better pickup the over the air digital channels. As far as quality of them, i can't say. no inside antenna works for me in my house. It has to be an external antenna.

Forgot about the digital tuner change. Better look this TV up. It does gets channels 15/22/23 but I need 3/10/13.

The only stations left in analog are low-power and translator TV broadcast stations. No deadline has been set for those to convert to digital but you should get a digital converter box. You will get 10x the reception and all the channels.

Ordered a box from Amazon for $40. I'd like to keep the TV going as it can play mt DVD and VHS training material.

Thanks all.
