Can you elaborate on this? AFAIK, ATSC is no more "directional" than 
analog broadcast. The fact is that the farther you are from the 
transmitter the higher gain antenna you need and high gain antennae are 
by definition more directional. But that is true for both analog and 
digital.

Regular roof-top antenna will work well for HDTV if it's properly setup. 
It may have to be directional and pointed at the transmitter, but that 
is also true for analog.

Do you mean that ATSC requires higher gain than analog?
