[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3188306, member: 43724"] Well, you get too weak a signal and bits of data will go missing, causing pixelation. This is why rabbit ears and other older antenna typically need rf amplifiers, they are not tuned for strictly UHF but rather tuned to balance reception for VHF and UHF. This would be too hard to convey for the masses, so the just called them HD antenna to differentiate between an VHF/UHF antenna and a strictly UHF antenna. A vast majority of the people don't understand that UHF stands for Ultra High Frequency (when tv's were able to tune to channels above 13 which start in the 500 mhz range) so they still equate UHF to analog even though no broadcaster uses an analog signal anymore.
