That's not exactly true. A masthead amp is generally used when signal strength is marginal and you have a distribution system ie splitting the signal to multiple rooms. I'm about 50Km from the transmission towers and need a masthead amp with 4 tv points, even with quad shield and f-type connectors.
A lot of older antennas have the large elements used for low frequencies and are not needed these days. They just induct stray electrical noise. So if you are going to buy an antenna for just digital then you need only a antenna that has the correct elements for the bands that you need.
Agreed that there is no such thing as "digital" antennas.
