What do you mean by, an _analogue_ antenna?

Well to split hairs over it, a non-wideband antenna. Fair enough, this
isn't any more "analogue" than a wideband antenna is "digital", but if
you're being sold something you don't need, and a new sort of
something at that, then you do at least expect to have one of that
particular new sort supplied, as promised.


A grouped aerial is what is needed nearly every time, being sold a
wideband when it is unnecessary is being ripped off. It looks like you
need to learn more too.


And what if there are new digital multiplexes placed on the channels
outside the band the aerial was designed for after the spectrum is sold
off? He'll have to have yet another new aerial installed. Rip-off.


This is becoming a dilemma. Of course we want to use grouped aerials because
of their superior performance, but who knows what the future holds?
