I am replacing an old antenna on an old motorhome (2002). The TV's are not digital, but of course the antenna is.
Does an old TV work with the new digital antennas?
Do i have to keep the old VHS player to switch the channels?
I hate to have replace a built in 80 pound monster TV!...I ain't 45 years old anymore!
Unfortunately, your old VHS does not have a digital TV tuner either so neither device will be able to to receive the new digital broadcast. As mentioned, the "old" antenna might have been better than your new one if it was one of the "Batwing" style antennas. What you can do, rather than replace the TV's (or until you do) is buy a Digital to Analog converter. This converter DOES have a digital tuner and it will convert it to a signal that can be utilized by your old TV's.
