The current setup is an antenna in the attic.
It looks like something from Radio Shack and is attached to a rotor. (This is my father-in-laws house.) It has worked very well for over 30 years with analog. After finding the strongest signals for analog it wasn't moved for years, until the move to digital.
Now, the signal is good until the weather is bad. Especially on windy days. My concern is the house is in a hilly neighborhood and is probably the lowest with hills and trees around. During the recent near hurricane winds (with rain and snow) in the Boston area there was little reception with the "failed to receive broadcast" message received. As the wind died down some stations came back faster than others.
Would these conditions disrupt digital signals that much? Especially since reception was so strong prior to digital. (You can imagine they aren't very impressed with digital so far. I should mention my in-laws are 89 and almost 89.)
