In desparation, I got the family a digital converter, the Zenith DTT901.

Most reviewers I checked who seem to have some experience with these things recommend this unit as the best one for people who may have difficult reception. I picked one up today at Radio Shack and it does the job using a plain rabbit ears.

One station (the NBC affiliate) has just barely enough signal and requires very careful adjustment of the antenna. (The built-in signal level meter helps in this regard.) I can see a lot of people losing stations like this when and if the changeover occurs.

The Channel Master CM-7000 is one of the highest rated converters especially for picture quality. It has an S-Video port that eliminates interference between the chroma and luminence signals.
