Why shouldn't he be happy? For a mere £70 he has an aerial that will

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"?



My old aerial gave atrocious reception on analogue but usable reception
on most, but not all Freeview channels. My new aerial gives good
digital reception but analogue is still atrocious - not really any
better than before.

It points in exactly the same direction, towards the transmitter. Why
wouldn't it?

Also, with the far better picture quality from Freeview compared to even
the best analogue signal, why on earth would anyone want to watch
analogue? Once you have good Freeview reception, why go back?


Yes, you are right, digital terrestrial has a better picture quality than
analogue, (provided nothing moves of course).
