Don’t worry about the digitalness, analog is dead, the only way your TV is showing anything analog is if you’re watching a VHS. As for the box unless you’re in a Fox broadcast deadzone you don’t need a box, you probably need an antenna.
It says analog in the corner of the TV. or digital.
7 is fox and it is analog.
In one respect, I can understand your comment about digitalness, but on the other the comment about “analog is dead,” especially when even thinking about discussing the format with respect to antenna, is misleading. Antennas by their nature have never been digital. Electromagnetic Waves (which antennas send and receive) are categorically not ‘digital’.
All their emissions are spectral, and if they were solely digital (transmitting 1s and 0s at the digital level), I’d have been out of a job I spent over 30 years in researching, specifying, developing, testing and producing them and their applications in radar, communications and sensing.
