Btw Digital antenna /HD antenna is marketing to the sheep , I guess if they call it that...
Well than why did my old analog antennae with coaxial cabal on both my house and RV with a power booster would not pickup half of the new local digital channels.
So I went to Walmart for my house and to Camping World for my RV new antennae's, "HDTV Digital" and bingo I now have over twice the channels and much better picture with that snake oil, how did that happen..
Should I sue them for over priced false advertisement than. ??

ok. i'll try one last time.
if your old analog antenna wasn't capable of picking up digital signals then it wouldn't have picked up ANY digital channels. but by your own admission it did. the difference is in antenna receive element design...the ability to capture more of the broadcast signal. and amplification...the ability to detect and capture weaker and more distant signals. the better the receive elements and the better the amplification = more channels. and coax wears out over time. water intrusion and uv-rays weaken the outer jacket causing decreased performance. the bad analogy is a leaky water pipe. you still get water, just not the same amount.
Well it was at the time here in Vegas when they were still broadcasting the old signal along with new digital channels before they all switch to all digital.
Example channel 3 was 3, 3.1 and 3,2, 3 was the old and the other 2 were digital, now its all digital..
My old antennae would only pickup channel 3, but the new pickup all..
So maybe I did not post it right and should have said it would not pickup the digital channels..
Maybe if you knew my case you would not be so cynical..
