Go to Wal-Mart, $45 for a converter box. Directions are included, simple installation. If you want to do bedroom TV you will need two boxes. No upgrade to antenna is needed, Winegard works fine. Campground we were just at before digital conversion, we received twice the air channels that were received before converter box installation. Picture quality on older TV's seems to have a marked improvement as well. Good luck.

cmp-shooter,
I think you are referring to the Wiengard Wingman. It does improve the signal some. I don't think it is a fix all. It just snaps into the holes for the rubber bumpers on the bottom of the batwing antenna. No wires.

Edit: Winegard Wingman

Apply on line for the Goverment $40.00 coupon you will receive in about 6 working days.
I purchase converter box's at Radio Shack with coupon they were like $16.00 ea
Instalation was easy.We spend the Summers in Erie Pa can not believe the improved receptcion. Picture quality as good as our LCD with Verizion at home
