Default examples of digital rip-off

My neighbour conned himself.

He had a good signal on his "analogue" aerial

He bought a new digital TV.

In his mind he needed a digital aerial.

Bought himself a new aerial. Paid 35 pounds from focus for a gold coloured
aerial. He Took down the perfectly good aerial he already had.

Then could not get new aerial up because he was short and his son was
scared of heights.

Called in a aerial rigger to put up new aerial who did it for 40 pounds.

Now he has a usable digital signal but analogue is poor ( Crystal Palace)

He is happy.




Why shouldn't he be happy? For a mere £70 he has an aerial that will
meet his digital TV needs for the foreseeable future.

If he has good digital reception, why on earth does he need analogue?


Doesn't the fact that his GOOD analogue reception has now been replaced
by POOR reception suggest to you in any way that the new installation
might not have been carried out very well?

Would you like to guarantee that 'he has good digital reception' ...
'for the foreseeable future'?
