That's correct.

Digital TV also involves lashing to roof antennas. ^_^
(Our roof antenna is even "Digital Ready")
It's like LaserDiscs vs DVDs. Similar optical medium, but LDs store the video 
using an Analog process, whereas DVDs encode the information digitally, 
giving a loss-less (from reception/degradation, anyway), higher quality video 
output.

A digital card would be better - but also costs more than I can justify on my 
shoe-string budget. If I twist the Wife's arm any more, it might come off.
