HD antenna

Rooftop broadcast receiver

An HD antenna is a television antenna marketed as capable of receiving high-definition digital broadcast signals.

The term is largely a marketing distinction—any antenna that receives UHF and VHF frequencies can pick up HD broadcasts.

The "HD" label emerged after the transition from analog to digital television: I cut the cord and just use an HD antenna for local channels.
