The newer model RVs have a slightly different crank up antenna for digital reception. You can buy a cheap add on part at camper world that solves the problem.
It isn't because they are digital, but because many of the new station frequencies are in the higher UHF spectrum frequency range while the older antennas were designed mainly for VHF spectrum frequencies. So in the case of the Windgard Sensar the have come out with the Wingman UHF booster. It pulls in the stations above the old channel 12 frequency range better. Many of the new stations are above the the old channel 12 frequency range.
This is a passive device, meaning there is no power behind it. I purchased one and I would have been better off buying a few lotto tickets.
It wasn't any better than the plain antenna.
When all else fails I wear an aluminum foil skull cap. TV reception improves a little and I can read other peoples thoughts! ps: don't let other people see you wearing it! :)
