Shane - true, there is realistically no difference between an analogue and digital antenna...
... EXCEPT that most combination or VHF only antennas on the market that are intended for analogue reception are not cut to receive the frequencies of VHF channels 6, 8, 11 and 12 properly. In fact if you plot the gain vs frequency of these old massive pieces of poo you will find some pretty shocking reception holes.
So what do i mean by a "digital antenna"?
I am refering specifically to a VHF ch 6-12 (band 3) "yagi" style antenna, that is cut with the intention of receiving channels 6, 8, 11 and 12.
By removing the need to receive channel 2, the antenna also become a shitload smaller - cos all those looooooong arse elements on your current antenna are there to receive nothing but ABC analogue TV.
Furthermore, yes in ideal reception areas your old schoool tv antenna will probably work. But if you are in an area that isnt ideal, you will need the correct equipment to receive digital tv reliably and faultlessly. So shut up shane.
