Please be advised that there is no such thing as a "digital antenna." In the US and Canada, TV stations broadcast their digital programming on a subset of the same channels that the used to broadcast their analog programming. I am from a very rural area in the US Gulf South. My home there uses an old, beat-up antenna from either Walmart or Radio Shack--I forget which. That antenna pulls in stations from as far away as 110 miles [under the right conditions]. Granted, I added an amplifier to the line, but I did not replace the old antenna for the analog to digital transition.
Anyone who claims to sell a "digital antenna" is very close to committing fraud on his customers.
