Scam! The same old antenna from 5, 10, or 20 years ago
will work just
as well now, if not better since the change to digital.
No it won't. That was VHF. Digital is UHF. Some old ones
were combos, true.

Untrue. Some analog is on VHF, some on UHF. Some digital is on UHF,
some on VHF.

Many (not all) stations are using UHF now, instead of VHF. This has
nothing to do with digital, and started several years earlier.

Here, the channels that had analog on VHF, have digital on VHF. The
channels that had analog on UHF, have digital on UHF.

Also, HD or SD has nothing to do with what antenna you need.
