More or less. It's gotta be a digital UHF antenna, and there are 2 different digital signals (SD and HD). It's not quite like the color/b&w standard where there's one signal with the b&w info biggybacked on the color. But yes, for the most part any digital UHF antenna can receive both SD and HD digital signals.

There's no way we're giving up the TiVo for Time Warner's piece of crap. It's more expensive and orders of magnitude worse functionally. Plus we've paid for 3 years of TiVo service up front so we're (willingly and happily) locked in. We'll most likely live with standard digital cable through this TiVo until such a time as we feel like paying for an upgraded HD TiVo + HD programming, which at this point is not within our affordability.
