Are rooftop TV arials now all obsolete, what with digital TV, satellite
TV,
etc? I don't watch TV myself, but I am renovating the exterior of my house
and wondered if I can remove the old TV Arials without any likelihood of
their being missed in the future. Or do people receive digital TV signals
via old arials? The arials in question were erected in the early 1990s, I
believe.

They certainly aren't obsolete. However after twenty years corrosion of the
aerial and degradation of the coax means that they are overdue for
replacement. Any brackets and fitting are likely to be corroded and weak.
Removing them will make the place look more tidy.
