Using rabbit ears in the modern age
 
So, I've ditched DishNetwork since we're watching so much TV on Netflix and other online sources, and I was wondering about picking up local stations (in Los Angeles) via traditional antenna.

I have a Vizio flatscreen TV from a year ago and live in an apartment, which doesn't allow me to easily get to the roof to install an outdoor antenna, so I was thinking about one of these indoor ones:

Would I just hook it up to my flatscreen and be ready to rock?

Depends on your reception, really.

I don't know if this would be any help to you (or anyone) but you might look at this:
