Which TVs will still work with an over-the-air antenna?

A TV with a built-in digital tuner (called an ATSC tuner) will be able to get free over-the-air digital programming, with no action on your part. Your TV probably has a digital tuner if it falls into one of the following categories:

• It's a big-screen, high-definition TV bought within the last few years. The government has required sets with screens 35 inches and larger to have a digital tuner since July 2005, and sets 25 inches and larger since March 2006. Those sets are sometimes called integrated HDTVs.
  

If the tv it is flat and tv LCD screen design than it is digital ready.It well be able to pickup free DTV air broadcasting from tv channels stations.If tv it have a big back and bulky design like it have CRT-tv tube.It well not pickup tv broadcasting in tv digital channels,all tv channels went digital on 2006.

Go under the setup options and do a guided channel search if it asks digital or analog then yes it is digital ready if not then no, most televisions at that time were not digital ready.
