In the US the answer is probably not. Digital and analog TV broadcasts use the same frequencies and antennas. Digital TV is more fussy about signal quality than the older analog signals. So if you get marginal analog reception, figure on getting a new antenna for digital. The idea that there are special HDTV antennas is just marketing hype. Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.

Do I need a digital TV converter?
Digital convertor boxes are meant for those who do not have newer TV sets with digital tuners built-in. The need for these came a few years ago with the digital changeover from the old analog signals. If you have cable or satellite as a provider, you do not need a converter at all. If you are currently using antenna TV and can actually see shows, then you do not need a box, you have a digital tuner already.

What will I need to make my LCD digital color tv work in UK?
There are several factors that need to be taken into account. First, North America uses 110V while Europe is based on 230V power supplies. Many products will operate on any voltage between 100 - 260V but American products often are restricted to 110V. The only way to find out is to read the label on the equipment itself. It is possible to use a transformer to deliver 110V but they are not cheap. Second, the television signal is different between the two countries. North America uses NTSC at 60Hz and Europe operates on PAL at 50Hz. Again, many televisions will handle both but that cannot be assumed. Lastly, the tuners operate on different frequency bands so it is unlikely that a direct aerial connection will operate. So, it the television operates on PAL, has wide range power supply then maybe it will work in the UK. By the time shipping has been added to the overall cost, it is not likely to be worthwhile to bring a US television to the UK.
