Thanks!

Yes you are correct, they are the same. When the FCC reassigned some of the the TV UHF frequencies, the highest UHF TV channel is now 51 (vice 69). Antennas no longer needed to receive channels 52-69 and smart manufacturers slightly lengthened some elements to provide higher gain to the lower UHF TV frequency band which was less of a compromise than previously. The statements about "digitally tuned" and similar comments are pure nonsense as the ATSC OTA signals are analog until converted to digital in the demodulator inside the ATSC tuner. RCA does not need anyone's' permission to sell Yagi antennas that have been around for over half a century. If that is not true, let's see a Patent number.
