Thanks for the advice from everybody, I'm currently waiting
for Digital Help Scheme to get back to me to arrange
an aerial installation.

They got back to me and said he doesn't qualify for an aerial:
"only when signal is not reliable on terrestrial TV channels
(BBC1 " Channel 5) will an engineer consider replacing an aerial"

His social worker has spoken to them saying that yes, the analogue
channels are ok, but all the channels the digital box can find...

Oh, it can find the channels, you don't qualify for an aerial.

No, yes, it can find the channels, but they're all breaking
up into little squares the sound is a continuous suttering.

No, you don't qualify for an aerial.

So, will have to go back to them in September when terrestial
TV channels will be nonexistant and see if the digital signal
is any better.

Alternatively, the social worker should ask whoever is telling them this to
give the name and contact for their manager or whoever is responsible for
resolving such a failure by the 'Digital Help sic Scheme'. Failing that,
a trip to the local MP surgery may invoke a letter that will awaken the
innocents involved. Alternatively, ask the local CAB to help unblock the
relevant pipe of compentence. The clues here may be in the name of the
'Scheme'...

Slainte,

Jim
