The difference is that analogue degrades gracefully.


Depends on what you mean by 'gracefully'. On a domestic installation in
most parts of the country using the correct aerial this is irrelevant.
Unless you actually like watching multiple images through a layer of snow.
With hissy sound.

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.


Which for most is a good thing.

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.


I'm not sure what you mean - but it's not got anything to do with aerials.
