Lacking any literature, one way to tell is whether it receives only "whole number" channels, like 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, etc., or if it also receives "decimal number channels" like 4.1, 5.1, 9.3, etc.
Most TVs sold in the last couple years will receive both analog and digital signals.

Most digital TV sets look "Wide" because they also changed the aspect ratio. That is they made the screens wider compared to it's hieght. So a digital 24" TV screen will be wider but not as tall as a analog 24" TV screen with the old aspect ratio.
When you put up the antenna and tell the TV to "Search" for signals, it should search 2-69 and then stop if it is analog, but will search 2-69 then search digital signals 2-69 looking for those signals as well.
On my digital TV, while searching the digital spectrum, it counts the stations and gives a total of receivable stations. So it will say on the top line searching channel 45 and in the second line Stations found 13.
And you can get several stations on each digital brodcast station. So you could get 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4. While 8 might be the local ABC network, 8.2 might be a weather station brodcast by the same TV station, and 8.3 might be the news and 8.4 might be something else.
In Los Angeles, they have station #28. It is the local PBS station. While it might be brodcasting seasame street early in the morning to the kids, 28.1 will brodcast the same show. 28.2 might have this old house, and 28.3 might have a fund raiser, while 28.4 might have a documentarty on volcano's.
They can do a lot on neat things with those digital TV sets. I was sort of happy that my old 19" front TV finally broke. I ended up getting a lighter TV set and have a storage compartment where the old TV was located.

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche or Country Coach!
First, check available inputs (Video 1, Video 2, etc) to see if it has a digital input like "DTV". If not, do a channel search as mentioned above when you're in an area that should have digital broadcasts.
As a last resort, and I hesitate to suggest something so extreme, check the manual to see if it has an ATSC tuner. (Real men don't read no stinkin' manuals!)
