There's no such thing as an "HDTV" antenna. Any antenna capable of

Yes, some stations currently using UHF for their digital signal will be
reverting back to their old analog frequency for their longterm digital broadcasts.
It depends on whether you have good UHF *and* VHF
receiving capability, ie. antenna.
If you don't have a good VHF receiving antenna,
you could be disappointed with post-Feb '09 results.
Don't buy a VHS or UHF ONLY Antenna unless your certain that your provider is going to switch or stay with a certain frequency. Yes, confusing and kinda stupid but obviously UHF will cover more area but cost more to do it. I heard the majority were moving to UHF but who knows every time I check I get mixed reviews. It may be worth it to buy a dual band antenna from solid signal.
I'll probably buy a cheap indoor antenna since my local crappy stations abc, nbc, cbs and fox are only 2 miles away and the only station I'm really interested in would be PBS @ 18 miles on UHF signal ... I got one of these.
