I use a very modest HLLY TVX-50M "Villa" transmitter connected to a set of rabbit ears. I would have liked to run something more vintage...but I run this and a little Archos AV700 media player 24/7 so the vintage stuff always have a signal. A switcher before the little HLLY transmitter allows me to switch between a DVD player, the Archos player....or the COX cable box.
As long as the little transmitter still runs (and I do have a spare one)...and some media player will give it a composite signal....I'm good to go for anything that has a tuner for around 250 feet around the flat. It's digital, so it is spot-on with .5Mhz increments.
"Just above 13" (213.0 Mhz with a 5.0Mhz audio offset)...proves to be a VERY reliable frequency without stepping on anything, and older "VHF only" sets (Sony 301 and 303) can join in the fun. I do have a couple digital tuning sets that HATE this...but I don't care about digital sets that won't cope with the odd "hyper 13" frequency.
