Mine picks up digital put only if the signal is good, same as normal tv really.

We have now bought a normal ariel and fixed it to a tripod so its easier to spin around for a signal, and it picks digital up as well. I think it cost about £12 but it is worth it

We use ours with a digital PVR and, unless there's particularly high pressure, we get a great picture.

As the analogue signal is switched off, the digital signal will be strengthened so it's only going to get better.  [:o)]

Hi

Must agree with Feecamp.

The signal will be stronger.

IMHO it's a case of patience. Wait and see.

I think the trade are doing good business by worrying everybody.

It wasn't effective before digital so it isnt't going to be effective after.
