Thought digital was more robust to some kinds of signal problems?

The difference is that analogue degrades gracefully. Digital tends
to either work or not work, there is little between other than some
popping noises on the audio and some picture freezing between the
two states.

There is also the question of analogue having far more bandwidth
which means it can cope with certain types of shot well, while the
sort of digital systems we have in mass use cannot do so.
