Yes and no...


Any CAI certified aerial will have a balun. It will also have been proven to
be able to pass the digital signals without significant data corruption.

I think the reason there are "Digital" aerials is to differentiate between
certified and non certified types. Bear in mind that because analogue
degrades gracefully, you can often get away with any old contractor crap and
still get acceptable signals. Not the case with a digital service.

Usual ********.

A 'digital' aerial is simply one with a wide enough frequency response
to suit the digital channel spacing in the area in question.

In many areas the old analogue one is perfectly adequate, if not
especially optimum.

Whether its certified or not has no bearing on either whether its good
for digital reception, or in fact is any good at all.
