I tried connecting a converter box to our antenna on Bear and didn't find any digital channels. The antenna has been up for 25 years and my thought is that it may need to be replaced. I'm going to start with replacing the cable and then decide on the antenna. It could be that the aiming isn't quite right too. I think digital channels 6 and 9 are operating on UHF frequencies now and will switch back to VHF-high after the conversion. That might help reception. 13 never came in very well so I'm not hopeful about when they go digital. That's too bad as all the good shows are on CBS.
