Will I need a new aerial for digital TV?

A new aerial may be required as some aerials are old or damaged, and in some parts of the country, digital terrestrial signals use a different frequency or transmitter to the one you normally use for your analogue reception. The cabling which connects your aerial to your TV set may also need to be upgraded. Where you live and the age and condition of your aerial and quality of the installation will determine whether you may require a new roof top or loft aerial to receive digital terrestrial TV (DTT).
