You don't really need a new antenna. If your current antenna is working
such that you get a good picture then it should work as a digital tv

I've heard that there's no "signal strength" meter or anything


Most digital STB's have a "signal strength" indicator on screen for
each channel.

it's either there, or not.


That's true of the displayed picture, but not the signal.
Poor (or even too much) signal strength can lead to "drop outs" or
"freezing" of the video image.
