[. . . ] Do I need a different antenna for DTV reception?Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and should work with existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channels are different from analog channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna. ** ** If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already have good UHF reception, your present antenna may work fine.
