And they will affect analogue just as much as digital. ;-)
No, less so. FM has the advantage in bad weather. It's called the
capture effect. In the absence of another FM signal, it is possible to
get intelligible info from a weak signal. Albeit, you get a poor
picture. With digital, it just packs up below a certain signal level.

Er, Dave, go read your theory book again. Capture effect has nothing at
all to do with the weather although it is a feature of FM.

Its only a feature of wideband FM.

And IIRC the analogue video is AM antyway, not FM.
