Rabbit ears are not UHF and most HDTV are UHF. The thing you show in the picture has a loop antenna in the middle. If it only has one cable coming out they are combining the two.
Best to get an outdoor UHF antenna. 4 bay bow tie works pretty well for HDTV. Make sure not to use twin lead. Use coax. And if the run is very long, like more than 25 feet, a pre amp does help.

Chicago Transmitters are about 35 miles away over lake Michigan (Antenna will be used in Indiana). It looks like on Amazon they're listed by mile range, is that accurate? Do amplified antennas really work better, or is it just a gimmick? I'm using an ancient radio shack antenna now that has a hoop and rabbit ears and an unmarked dial of some purpose. I can pickup about 3 channels out of Chicago if it's set at just the right place, and you stand on one leg, with one arm extended. Would a new antenna do any better than this one? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
