Try this variant:


Find a non-coupon eligible ATSC receiver with a VGA output (RCA made a few of these, many with a DirecTV system built in, in some models, the ATSC tuner continues to operate without any subscription nor access card).

Add a 21" CRT computer monitor (very cheap, overloading thrift store space).

And a "boom box" with audio inputs (also very cheap at thrift stores).

Add the antenna, and you have an HDTV system with digital stereo sound!

(note, however, that the older ATSC boxes are more prone to problems from multipath, many may need to have the antenna in the attic or on the roof).
