An antenna originally designed to work for the old analog TV stations should be OK for use with modern high definition and digital TVs

In principal, they should work the same but replacing your old aerial could bring advantages when tuning into the transmitter for other reasons:

• Gain
  Measures how much signal or energy the antenna will collect with modern high gain tv antennas helping to pull in more information
• Beam width
  Gives a measure of how focussed an aerial is with a wider beam making it easier to capture a signal
• Bandwidth
  Different stations are transmitted at different frequencies and bandwidth gives a measure of how gain varies with signal frequency
  If the antenna has too narrow a bandwidth it may be good at receiving some channels well but fail to give a good picture on others

Don’t be fooled by claims of digital aerials but do consider upgrading to a digital compatible aerial that can help provide a better picture thanks to improvements in aerial performance

What Makes a TV Smart?
The main differentiator that makes a TV smarter than the rest is the ability to receive and display web content; particularly interactive media, streamed films via an internet connection, on demand content and other media covered by the phrase Web 2.0 to distinguish it from regular web content

I Don’t Have a Smart TV What are the Alternatives?
Thanks to the hdmi and usb connections available on modern flat screen TVs it’s often possible to connect a computer to your TV and use it as an extra large monitor to handle all kinds of media thanks to your computer’s processing, graphics and sound capabilities

What about Noise – Aren’t Most Computers Noisy
Many of the top end computer and graphics chips run extremely hot and require fans, heat pumps or even water cooling to dissipate heat BUT… There are a range of near silent computers running without fans and generating hardly any heat that have been specially selected for portable and TV entertainment devices

I Don’t Want A Computer System without a Remote
Most of these near silent computers capable of storing and handling most movie and music media can be controlled by a plugin remote device or mini wireless keyboard; allowing you to watch movies, record TV programmes, organise and access your music collection, check facebook, twitter, send emails and most computer activities short of playing graphics intensive games
