"And why did analog need to be ‘freed up’- for what?"

If i'm not mistaken....and i very well could be, the reason for the switch was to make more bandwidth available for wi-fi & cellphones.

My best antenna for HDTV I have used is a set of Rembrandt rabbit ears from 1959 which my parents got as a wedding gift in that year.

Lots of good DIY designs out there, this one looks good too.

Google “fractal antenna”, easy to build and reportedly works quite well.
