Not sure what kind of antenna this is. It's attached to the side of the house, with a cord dangling down to the front porch. I wrapped the cord around a railing and have left it there. I am guessing it's an old TV antenna, but who knows, it could be something else actually useful?

Yep, old TV UHF antennas.

I wonder if I should just take the whole thing down or if there's any use I could make out of that pole stuck to the side of the house in future.

Hook it up to your TV and cancel your cable or satellite TV.

Hook it up to your TV and cancel your cable or satellite TV. Am I wrong in thinking that conventional antennae won't work any more? I thought those were only for analog TV's, and now broadcasting is all digital.

Digital TV is broadcast using some of the old VHF frequencies so an old VHF or UHF/VHF antenna works just fine for picking up the signal. You just need a digital TV or a converter box to see programming.

That antenna will receive both TV and radio signals. I'd leave it up and put it to use.
