Some digital converters include an "antenna tuner" which will try to find the strongest signal and rotate an apropriate antenna to get it.

One of the things about digital is that the signal is pretty much either there or not there. You don't get a snowy image where you can still make out some things and perhaps have audio too. If the signal starts to break up you lose the whole thing. I set up a box at my parent's house a couple months ago. Some channels they got before don't come in on the digital but the ones they do get have a much better picture. Some stations may not have made the change yet and some small stations can be exempt from going digital if they choose. I think there are a couple they did not get before too. It will depend on your reception.
