Yes, an antenna works the same, analog or digital signal. But, it must have low-band VHF for VHF up to channels 6. Must have high-band VHF for channels 7 to 13. Must have UHF for channels 14 to 51.
The problem had been this. In many areas, channels that had been on VHF, changed over to UHF to go digital. Also, many local TV stations began to borrow transmitter towers further away.
So, in your case, you need to determine #1 if your antenna can receive UHF bands, and #2 what is now available in your area, and on what band.
Simple check is just go to TVFool.com and punch in your address or GPS coordinates. It will give you a free report of exactly what is in your area, and at what signal strength.
Anything with a positive noise-margin number will be good without much trouble. If you have a good antenna and preamp (LNA), you can get digital and analog from up to 140 miles away with a negative 30 noise-margin number.
I'm in a very rural area and only got one VHF channel for 30 years. Now I get over two dozen, many with HD TV.
