Digital has been an industry "Buzz Word" for decades. It has been tagged onto almost everything electronic. There will be "Digital Antennas" for many more years.
Here's a link to a thread by SCVJeff who did an extensive test of the Batwing vs. the Jack:

When the analog TV was shut down, many TV stations moved their digital broadcasts from the UHF band back to the VHF band. About 25% of TV stations are now broadcasting on the VHF band. You need a larger antenna to receive a good VHF signal, thus the Winegard Sensar aka Batwing is a better choice. The Jack performs poorly for VHF.
