I was discussing our antenna and only being able to able to pick up Kten and Kxii (because of a TV show we can't pick up) on another forum and someone said we needed to try a portable digital aerial.
I tried asking what the difference was but never got a reply.
I can't imagine this would help or everyone would use it instead of antenna's.
:confused:

Thanks!

Sounds British/Euro-speak for a UHF-only antenna.
When Europe moved to Digital-only in the form of DVB-T they made sure to go UHF-only.

Every time I've ran across a "portable digital aerial", I saw a cheap whip antenna.
Rubbish for picking up ATSC which NEEDS a directional antenna.

Only "portable" UHF antenna I've seen that works is a "Silver Sensor"

Just for clarity, an antenna is an antenna, and there is NO difference between a digital or HDTV antenna and one that isn't labeled so.
