RE: Freeview reception

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've no previous experience with Freeview - my analogue signal is
pretty poor but the tuner in my Panasonic LCD seems to be pretty good - the
main channels are fine but the less popular channels tend to break up. All
this is without and changes to the aerial (which is IN the loft) - not
ideal I guess. It's also an old high gain aerial - will I benefit from a
newer wide band aerial for Digital? Or are they likely the same?

Paul.
