An antenna is just an antenna, it picks up radio waves however they're encoded.

(i.e. there's not really a difference between a "digital" and an "analog" antenna.)

It's then up to the receiver to be able to decode the signal in the appropriate way.

Okay....that makes perfect sense.....when they first switched over you needed a digital conversion box if you wanted to use your old television......and I am sure you could use your original antenna....like you say...they all do the same thing! I just know now they market a lot of them as "digital antennas" or I guess maybe HDTV antennas!

So would an old antenna still pick up an HDTV signal......I mean is all that converted inside the television? Or do you need a specific antenna to grab those signals out of the air?

Sorry we are going so far off topic here....LOL......just curious

I have a antenna hooked too the television in my Art Room and it picks up some digital channels.....I did it so I could see the local channels my Roku didn't pick up.....but it had said "digital" antenna...... :/

Speaking of The Doctor, I was out in Denver working this week so we finished up the time vortex around the TARDIS. Went with a red/orange/yellow palate because the blue/purple one would have made it all look like a blue blob on my arm. I only have one really crappy pic from the hotel I sent my wife. I hope to have one worth posting after I get all the way home.
