I have an older TV (only inputs are for cable and Red/Yellow input).

What do I need to be able to get signal @ the tailgate pre-USF game this weekend?

Digital Converter? Antenna?

I'm looking to just pick up basic channels (ABC, CBS, etc.)

Little help Please

Thanks.

Yeah you are going to need a Digital to Analog Converter Box and an Antenna.

You can get the box at Best Buy but they run around $30+

You may want to consider just buying a new digital TV. A 19" HDTV is between $150 and $200

First get a long extension cord.....

After that  a digital converter box and an antenae should get you the boradcast stations.

A digital converter box and a basic antenna will work. 

The tough part is getting the AC power.  You will need a generator or a DC to AC power converter that you can run off your car battery, or a long extension cord and access to an electrical outlet near the stadium.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
