Yes I know a normal analogue aerial on a freeview box will work when the
switchover applies but the sister doesn't want a FV box hooked up to the
TV.

The reason an analogue one will work is because there is no such thing as
a digital aerial, they are all analogue.


You will not get digital TV by just changing the aerial, you /need/
either:-

a satellite box + disk
a freeview TV + aerial
a freeview set top box + aerial

I bet you I can post a URL to a digital aerial Dennis. ;-)


Marketing gimmic to sell Joe Public aerials they didn't need.

Probably. :-)


The only difference being that in some areas you may need a wider band
antenna to pick up all of the muxes for your own area, because they are
outside the bandwidth of a normal analogue antenna.
