Had digital for over three years now, not very happy, picture regularly breaks up. Peoples' lips stop moving for a few seconds, but voice carries on. Sometimes the whole caboosh stops working, have to switch everything off and start again. |

Digital is a completely different technology to analogue. Instead of requiring an extremely powerful transmitter for each individual program, digital transmits up to 20 programs on just one single frequency at one tenth of the power. |

Bernard, Check that your aerial is pointing in the correct direction, I found that my aerial was only out by about 5 degrees and it was OK whilst on the analogue system but as soon as we went to fully digital we had that problem, |

we went digital a few years back and and my then newish TV in my bedroom which had just had an aerial fitted has failed to work ever since - I have been told that my aerial needs repositioning - |

thats right Ann often its just an adjustment of areil thats needed, its just that the ariels now have a much better db gain so less signal loss,but with the ariel in the correct postion shouldnt need to buy a new one,,,,,,,,people in my area havnt changed their ariels, |

I had a new aerial when digital came, fitted by well known company. No one around here is happy with digital. |

The Digital changeover is not supposed to effect the radio - at least that is what we told on our local radio station. |
