I will like to know if I have to buy a new antenna to receive the new digital signal. ?

Question

I have the tipical outside antenna. But I heard that along with the converter box, I will also need a new type of antenna. Thanks, Carlos

Answer 1

no, you can use the same antenna you have. just plug it into the new converter box

Answer 2

you not gonna need the converter box if your TV has digital tuner.... just plug n play

Answer 3

Usually you won't require a new antenna. Here is a quote from http://www.digitaluk.co.uk

"Will I need a new TV aerial? Most households won’t. Only a minority of homes will need a new aerial. As a rule of thumb, if you get a good analogue picture now, you should be able to get a good digital signal after the switchover.

If you choose to get digital TV through an aerial now and have reception problems even though you are in a current coverage area (to check this use the postcode checker), you should consider having your aerial checked by a Registered Digital Installer (RDI), also recognised by the digital tick. If there isn't an RDI in your area, look for a member of the Confederation of Aerial Industries (CAI)."

Hope this helps you.
