Yes, you need a digital antenna. The old bat wing is not suitable for anything more than a bad paper weight. There are add ons you can get for the bat wing that are suppose to bring in the digital signals. But a decent digital antenna is only about 30 dollars at places like best buy.
Your old 'Bat Wing' will work just fine, no need to buy another antenna. I am watching T V on Vizio digital flat screens with a 1997 bat wing and get a very sharp picture!
As others have stated, digital signal is very directional, so you may have to do some trial and error runs to get your best signal.
Your problem is NOT the type of antenna you have!
