There was a lot of bragging going on about the Wingman at the campsites I was staying at and when we got the new camper, we got one and after a fer camps we installed it. I pulled it off after the 2n...

Are we all getting this right, or is there a difference in getting a signal, as opposed to receiving viewable content? I am not electrically that swift.
It is said there is NO such thing as a DIGITAL ANTENNA, only antennas that can receive VeryHF and UltraHF signals. So the old analog stuff - whether VHF or UHF signal channels - might be received at 70 mi, but be so snowy as to have no content.
And for the new digital signals (also either VHF or UHF), they too might be received at 70 mi, but the content is too dim to have integrity with resulting digital emptyness that is similar, in effect, to the analog snow.
Need the gurus on this.
Just one clarification: All new digital signals are UHF, no matter what the channel number is. The FCC, in the switch to digital, moved the old VHF channels (2-13) to UHF. This was to address frequency clutter and interference in the VHF range. TV's with digital tuners "know" to look for channels 2-13 in the UHF frequencies assigned to them. Since all channels are now UHF (except a few special situations still using VHF), an antenna optimized for UHF will provide the best results. Hence Winegard added the Wingman option to their antenna line.
