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Doesn't the fact that his GOOD analogue reception has now been replaced
by POOR reception suggest to you in any way that the new installation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?



Replacing a narrow band ("analogue") aerial with a wide band ("digital")
aerial is unlikely to improve analogue reception. In my case the
analogue reception is probably slightly worse now.


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



If it works well now, it is likely to get even better in future as
analogue signals are turned off and the power of digital transmissions
are increased.


Aren't you really missing the point that, on the evidence supplied, the
new installation is CRAP?
