TV antennae questions

Bought my new Kodiak earlier this year. Have had great fun putting 9600km on it already and think i have a good handle on most aspects of using it. BUT I am not often a TV watcher and to date have not been able to figure out the scoop on the recent changes in Canada where I think all transmission has gone digital. Should the crank up antennae on my 2013 Kodiak be able to bring in TV? or does it need either a digital converter/receiver box, or maybe a whole new digital antennae like the Jack antennae I have seen advertised?
It seems like there are lots of people on here that do watch TV in their TT's, I would appreciate any info you can share with me.

    Only time i tried was in the canadian rockies.....there I DID do a digital channel search with the tv set to receive from antennae, but got absolutely nothing at all for signal. Tried this with the antenna in about 12 positions (rotating it)! Guess I will have to try it in a city location next.

    Like said above your present antenna will work just fine. Your TV is probably digital as well. Did you do a channel search? Is your TV menu set for Antenna?

    Let us know.

    In the USA you are also only using digital for TV and Canada is the same . Your Antenna will work exactly the same in North America
