Am I wrong, but I thought you needed a special digital antenna now if not using cable?
Engine4, is your TV digital ready, or do you have one of those 'government digital converter boxes'?Nope, an antenna (Any antenna) has no idea of the mode of transmission it receives; i.e. digital/analog/AM/FM/SSB etc. it just receives signals in a given frequency range, which hasn't changed, you do not have to have a "digital" antenna as retailers would lead you to believe
FWIW...the TV has more to do with the signals received and decoded than anything, i had several antennas, including beam antennas i tested along with several amplifiers, there were a couple channels i could never get (i can see TV hill from my roof in Brooklyn Park and I'm on TOP of the hill here) whereas a good friend of mine in a low lying area of Glen Burnie could get 10 more channels than I.... I have an older Insignia, one of the first with the built in digital decoders, and he has a brand new Sony...brought his TV to my house, hooked up my parabolic beam pointing due North and amplifier and we were watching WGAL Channel 8 in Harrisburg like it was channel 11(WBAL)....only thing that changed was the TV
As chale127 said, it's how the signal is decoded from the antenna, not the antenna itself that matters.
