My mother was complaining about bad low-VHF reception on
cable, so I set up an ATSC tuner with a rabbit ears set.

This suggests you bought a stand-alone ATSC tuner. Who makes it?
Where'd you find it?

Here's one that turned up when I did a search:

dp/B00064L1AI/sr=8-1/qid=1165349392

I've seen Samsung's set-top HD tuners before (are they the only folks
marketing them?), but are there any SD tuners? That's a big,
expensive box to drive a 9" kitchen TV set :-)
