Yes. Digital TV is on the same set of frequencies as analog TV.
(There's a big oddity in the channel numbering; channel numbers in DTV
have nothing to do with frequency. So channel 10 might be
broadcasting on what should be channel 20, and it may move back to
channel 10 when the transition happens.) So any antenna that works
with analog TV will work with digital.
The one problem is that digital range isn't as good as analog. If
you've got any sort of snow in the analog picture, it's likely you
won't be able to get a good digital signal.
