Friend wants to dump the 13" portable tv that is connected
to the rabbit ears, this is if it's possible to get the "over the
airwave" signal into the LCD....
ps, what will change when the "digital" switchover actually
happens?

Stations have been broadcasting their digital signal on UHF channels
for several years. A tv with a digital (ATSC) tuner can find them and
will list them as (old analog channel) - #, for example I'm watching
the news on digital channel 9-1, actually transmitted on UHF channel
59. The next channel down is 9-0, the original VHF channel 9 which
will shut down on the transition day, a few have already. Then some of
them may move their digital broadcast to the freed-up VHF channels, so
you'll need to rescan.

This site can tell you which stations you could possibly receive with
a good enough antenna:
