Re: Hello??

More misunderstanding.

You are correct that there is no HD antennas. Thats more of a marketing concept.

Rabbit ears are used for VHF reception. Digital stations in most areas of the US are broadcasting on UHF. For lowest cost this would be a 'bowtie' style antenna.

You will generally be able to pick up more analog signals on the edge of usable then digital. But the quality is usually so low I don't particularly agree that its better in anyway. Where as the digital signals that are received by a low cost antenna suited to the location (UHF/VHF/directional/multi-direction) are all good quality. So if really want an extra few channels that sort of resemble a picture with sound, then yes a digital upgrade is probably bad for you.
