I guess I have almost never used the tuner in any TV by itself...I've always either used the DirectTV receiver, a DVD player or a VCR connected to an outdoor antenna with an RF modulator connected to a distribution amplifier which then fed all the TV's in the house or barn, and just left all the TV's on channel 3. When the digital converter becomes available I'll get the antenna set up again and use it the same way as the other video sources.
There is not really a strong enough signal here for a good picture on just rabbit ears or a built in antenna on a portable.
I've never felt the need to watch different programs in different rooms of the house so a single source for all the TV's is fine for me. I use a "Rabbit" remote control relay system so I can change channels on single DirecTV receiver from the bedroom, and just use the TV remote (if equipped) for volume and power.
