assuming your tv has a digital tuner in it:

step 1: run antenna (rabbit ears, whatever)  
step 2: find digital broadcast channel you want. use [titantv.com](http://titantv.com) or something  
step 3: peak signal  
step 4: watch football

theyre hustling you. any antenna will pick up HD as long as it can get the broadcast. with digital there is no static so either it will come in in HD, or it wont come in at all.
