Antennas still pick up RF signals whether analog or digital, the principal is the same.

One of these will fix you up.

What you need to know before selecting one, are there stations you want to receive on the low and high VHF bands. Very few transmit on low VHF but some areas do have high VHF like DFW with Ch 8 on RF8 and Ch 52 on RF9.

It looks like I have WMC on 5 and KAIT still on 8. Other than that, it looks like everything has went to UHF.

You mentioned that the house is wired with RG-59, which was a little more widely used back in the day. However, trying to get a decient signal now is more difficult so you may want to consider running some RG-6 instead.
