An antenna is an antenna, there is nothing special about an advertised "digital" antenna...if an antenna is designed to receive VHF-hi, it will receive digital signals as well as analog signals, same with VHF-lo...same with UHF.
The use of the word "digital" in advertising is intended to cause you to buy said antenna before you would buy an antenna that doesn't mention the word "digital"....it's a hook to get your money, and 9 times out of 10, if the advertiser HAS to use the "digital" word ploy, odds on favor is it is not a very good antenna....this ploy is designed to flim-flam the unknowing, so be careful what you purchase....it may look fancy, but it could be a dud, IMO.
And, yes, the "old analog" antenna will work just fine with a digital signal....
