There is no such thing as a digital aerial.


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.

A balun is just a balanced to unbalanced conversion device I can't quite
see how it will corrupt the bits..


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.



Not strictly scientific is that ?. More clever marketing for the aerial
industry and a chance to make a few quid..
