I recently hooked up a cheap 'magic stick' antenna to an old Zenith # SY2551S TV to try and get some free TV over the airwaves, but when I scanned for channels nothing came up. I was wondering if I need a digital converter box to convert the digital signals to analog or something, since this TV was made in 1996. I was also wondering if an amplifier of some kind would help since we live in kind of a hilly area... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John California
