1. It is true that digital TV has rendered analog TV
almost obsolete so it would be safe to say that
analog antennas may also need to be changed to
something which can receive the digital signals.
This thought can be depressing for a lot of people
for upgrading can obviously mean costs which
can involve upgrading the TV set as well as the
antennas. Fortunately there may be no need to do
any of it.
2. For those who have analog TVs a simple purchase of an
analog-to-digital converter can allow digital reception in the old TV
Better, old UHF and VHF antennas can also be used to receive the digital
signals There are many indoor antennas used by many households like
the 'rabbit ears' which are used for the VHF bands while the
"loop" and the "bow tie" are used for the UHF band

4. To get the UHF and the VHF antennas to receive the digital TV signals
make sure that the antenna used can receive both types of signals In
fact, many of the HDTV antennas considered to work best actually
receive the UHF signals If you are thinking of buying a new antenna do
not miss out to check out the product reviews on which antenna should
perform well
5. It would also be a good idea to check out the product specifications
regarding how that antenna may be able to provide the reception for both
VHF and UHF channels For those who already have indoor antennas
which can receive VHF channels you may have to get an antenna
amplifier or booster Check out the digital TV reception maps to find out
what stations you can receive in your particular area
6. You can also find out more information regarding antennas in the
Antenna Guide Again, check out the product reviews regarding reception
of VHF TV channels
7. This is the only way that you can make sure that you are getting the right
kind of antenna which should work best for your area
