RE: OnDigital Signal Breakup...

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

I have no objection to then being in with the analogue channels ... what
bums me off is that out here almost everyone needs a new wideband aerial
when they switch to digital as the ITV MUX is completely the opposite end
of
the band from all the others and hence fallsoutside the reception of a
narrow band aerial...
