A. >What is the difference of HDTV antenna and a DTV antenna?
There isn't any difference. They are just meaningless marketing buzzwords. In North America, even 30 year old TV antennas are "HDTV", "DTV", "Digital", or whatever marketing BS is printed on the box.
These terms are useless in choosing a TV antenna.
>supports HD channels and normal channels both?
They all support both.
>do they output in 1080i, 720i, or 420p?
They all output whatever the TV stations broadcast. The antenna has nothing to do with digital resolution.
What antenna is best for you depends on where you are located. The details of your local TV transmitters, location relative to them, and even the construction of your house is what is important in choosing a TV antenna.

How to use the digital antennas?
Q. We just got one of those digital antennas and a converter box from a friend, but now we have no instructions...how do we program or whatever the antenna to get the best signal? Any help would be great! It's a radioshack indoor HDTV antenna.
A. Connect the antenna to the box
Connect the box to the TV. Set the TV to ch 3 or 4 or the video input (depends what you use)
Turn on everything
Go to the menu of the box and do a Channel scan.
Rotate the antenna until you get the best signal.
www.antennaweb.org can provide more help in orienting the antenna.

How to get my digital hdtv to work w/o cable?
Q. I just bought a sharp hdtv digital tv for my bedroom . My bedroom has no cable and Im not planning on getting cable because that is just a extra bill. How can I get the tv to work since no more "rabbit ears" will be use? The converter box is for tvs that are not digital so what do i do? btw I have cable in my living room.
A. I really have no idea what you mean by "How can I get the tv to work since no more "rabbit ears" will be use? The converter box is for tvs that are not digital so what do i do?"
You do not need a converter box because you just bought a new TV with a digital tuner. If you are close enough (maybe 35 miles will not hills in between) to some over the air broadcast stations, you certainly can use rabbit ears, regular or amplified if you are concerned your signal may be weak. The only other option (since you do not want a cable or satellite bill) is a more powerful outdoors antenna.
If you want a more accurate antenna estimate or if you just want to find out how far you are from some station, you can use this tool.
