Have a universal antenna in the ceiling.  DTV converter
arrived the other day.  Seems to get all the channels
that were available before *except* 4 (xmitter problems?)
and 58 (no loss on either of those counts...)

Bigger problem will be connecting the various VCR/DVD/LVD/etc.
devices to the TV and antenna...  :<
