Will a new TV get local channels without cable, a dish, etc.?

Question

I want to watch the Olympics but I don't want to spend the money on cable, or paid TV, so can I just buy a TV at the store that will work with local channels?

Answer 1

Only if the tv you get is ready with the new Digital Conversion which will be the only form of free broadcast able to be picked up without a FTA satellite system.

Most all new tv in the store are ready fir the digital conversion which will be mandatory in 2009
