Reasons to upgrade your aerial installation
They are 3 main reasons why you may need to upgrade your aerial :
1. your current aerial and cabling may not be able to receive all the digital channels due to its age and condition,
2. in your location the digital channels may be transmitted on a different frequency to your analog signal and you may need
a different type of aerial to receive them,
3. the new digital channels may be transmitted from a new transmetter and if this is the case, the aerial would have to be re-
aligned. Alternatively you could add a second aerial to your system.
