Aerial Type
Is there such a thing as a digital aerial? Well, contentious question with some. An aerial that will give you the best chance of receiving a good digital tv signal is a Group W or wideband aerial (picks up channels 21-68) ideally one with a high gain and possibly with a mast head (i.e. at the aerial) mounted amplifier. Maplins sell an Extra Gain Wideband Aerial for £39.99 (as of June 2006).

A wideband Aerial is just an aerial its not a digital aerial.
 
well answer this........... was a new aerial needed when the switch over came to fruition? Channels non existent b4, when new aerial was installed the problem was rectified. So the term 'digital' may be wrong but a new aerial was certainly needed. why is this? why have people had to pay out for new installation to receive digital channels? just curious

Basically if you had good analogue TV reception before switiching over you should of been alright. So if there was a problem when you switched over it could of been the RF connectors had comes loose on the coax cable. You know when you've unplugged the aerial from the TV and plugged it into the Freeview box (or new digtial TV) the RF connector has come loose.

BTW heres a good artical for you to read.

All 3 tvs in the bedrooms went down, all had built in freeview in the tv, must just of been a coincidence with the switchover. Obviously the sky wasn't affected as it doesn't require an aerial but you have sent my mind into overdrive, so a visit into altrincham will be on the cards tomorrow.

nice1 for the info
