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?

Except that if it's pointed in the same direction doesn't "poorer
analogue reception = poorer digital reception"?

Not if the analogue and digital channels are in different groups (as
where I live) where a wideband aerial is indicated (if you want both
from the same aerial, that is). Interestingly he didn't say "good"
digital, he said usable. One might think that, for digital (but not
analogue) good=usable but only he can say.

He said he was getting his signal from Crystal Palace, analogue and digital
are group A.
