There is no such thing as a digital antenna.
Any idea why Eagle Cap and another 100 sources on the internet advertise them with that title? Digital capable?
It's an advertising scam, just like the companies that were selling
COL0R TV antennas in the mid '50s.
In the '40s it was common to mount the outside antenna on the chimney where the corrosive by-products of combustion would quickly degrade the performance of the antenna. This degradation went unnoticed because during that time the TV stations were installing more powerful transmitters and mounting their antennas on top of ever taller buildings and towers.
The average consumer would spend as much as a month's pay for a
COL0R TV set and be disappointed in the picture quality because he needed a new antenna. The scammers advertised in the Sunday supplements and sold $20 antennas for $150 just by saying they were
COL0R TV antennas.
In the words of P. T. Barnum, "There is one born every minute."
