Oh ok now i think i understand, i remember hearing something about the states having already turned over to digital and something about Canada switching in 2011 soooo maybe that will help me

The antenna i have now is one of those big old ones and im guessing it doesn't get UHF, the wine guard you speak of it does all? including high def channels? and will get more channels then the big piece of shit thats sitting on my roof as we speak?
