Digital set-top boxes (slightly O/T) - weak signal area.
Hi.
Been thinking about digital TV as I don't want satellite, or any subscriptions over and above the licence fee, bit would welcome some of the digital free-to-air channels. In my area, the signal isn't too good. However, with a signal booster, all the analogue channels come through perfectly. The BBC's web page says that my area is marginal for digital broadcasts (with some localities unsuitable owing to terrain) but I was wondering if the booster I use for analogue transmissions would also deal with the digital signal. My original idea was to buy one of the boxes from Argos and see if it worked; I could then take it back for a refund if it didn't. Unfortunately, these items are excluded from Argos' 15-day money-back guarantee, which leaves me kinda stuck. Has anyone got any advice about this? TIA, Jon |
