Never brought a TV before and trying to set one up for the SC game. We wont have anything else but a tv so it wont require that much power. Just wondering what the best way to set it up would be and what all we will need.

ETA:

So going off the recomendations ive ive recieved, these are my 2 options for antenna...

Terk-TV5

RCA

and I was going to use this as a power source



500w Dual Outlet Power Inverter

anybody see any problems I may run into with these options?

If it's just a tv and you are close to your car..they sell those little inverters that you hook to your car battery. Start the car every hour to get a charge and you should be good...
Get an OUTDOOR antenna or you will not be able to catch CBS

So are you just asking how to power it?

We use a Terk TV5 antenna and it works like a charm. It is about $30 on amazon.

also don't forget that if your TV doesn't have a built in digital tuner that you need the digital converter box (which the antenna plugs into)

we've never had any issues getting ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX crystal clear ... and we just use crappy rabbit ears, nothing fancy.
