I'm using an Outdoor rotator antenna for ATSC/Digital TV.
I'm not supposed to be able to pick up some of these stations but with this outdoor antenna I can pick up stations in the bigger city. I'm too far away to pick them up outside the city with most antennas and indoor antennas are junk as far as that goes.
According to Rabbitears.info, there are two channels on the same tower with supposedly the same power output (initially one was weaker than the other). I can pick up one station, but not the other. Before I have had to adjust the rotor just slightly to pick up one station or the other. But now it's unpredictable when I'll pick up the second station even when rotating the rotor. The first station comes in pretty well as long as I point it in the general direction. I wouldn't even be able to pick up these stations unless I'm in the city, but with this antenna I almost get both of them (sometimes).
The Digital signal has made signals harder to get than with analog. But of course if it weren't for compression it would take more bandwidth not less. And then they're squeezing out the old upper channels of TV for other digital services such as 5G and other wireless internet and phone.
If the two stations are on the same tower with the same power (assumed) I should be able to pick up both of them, but I can't. Maybe the one station has practically become nothing but shopping channels, it comes in ok.
