Anyone know why the "cat-whisker" design is the form of choice for HDTV? You wouldn't see an antenna like this for any other radio frequencies. Old TV's had rabbit ears or loops or yagis mounted on the roof... Just wondering what's special about this design, given that Over The Air HDTV is largely using similar frequencies.
