We had a huge antenna in the muddle of nowhere and used to get stations from about 150 miles away when it was analog. As soon as it went digital not zip.

Analog and digital antennas are different and non-compatible...

Yup, digital TV may provide a better picture but it is harder to get in than analog. Though much of what I like is older stuff, which wasn’t shot in HDTV format.

My only real beef is that back in the day, if the reception was bad you still got usually at least got sound. With digital, the signal just does a freeze frame on one image until you change something or other.
