then I think it would be reasonable to call it an "HDTV antenna". Unfortunately those so-called are almost 100% not so optimised...yet. Most are still optimised for high UHF channels which will no longer be used.
I know Antennas Direct has a newish model or two that are optimised for post-transition HDTV. Their popular DB2/4/8 are not, nor are the ChannelMaster 4221/8 yet.
As blue-z says, signal overload is very possible (and not uncommon) with HDTV signals and many current HDTV tuners. I don't know why, don't know enough, I'm in a location "just far enough" from U.S. and local Canadian towers that it's not something I run into.
