Good question, try it and let us know. Personally, I just got a digital converter for my old Sony 27" and it works well with rabbit ears. I get about a dozen stations because 2 of them have 2-3 channels each which was unexpected. NTSC is dead, long live ATSC.
Duncan and "swzaske", I found two old Broadband TV (distribution) amps. One only had a 1dB gain, (but four outputs) so I skipped it. (I may gang/chain them later in my attic for distribution on my second floor.) The other is a +10dB single output. Archer 15-1118 (very old, never used.) 50-450MHZ. <http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/DocumentResults.asp?sku_id=15-1118&Name=Video%20Accessories&Reuse=N> The OSD signal strength meter seemed to say it boosted the signal around a little less than a third of the bar. (Red, Yellow, Green.) This was on a channel that was breaking up, and it "cured that"... I put it right at the VHF/UHF 75ohm rabbit ears to feed a converter box from there. I'll try it on my Desktop Computer next week. (I'm working my way up from cheapest to most expensive stuff...) Rick Glazier
