frequencies of DTT muxes after switchover - do aerial riggers know?

OK, you've convinced me to stick with band A for now.

P.S. If neighbours are using wideband aerials, go and look at their
reception. If digital and analogue are both good enough for you, you
have your answer. If not, then similarly you have your answer!


FYI around here, everyone is offering "digital" aerials and most are fitting
monsters! I did phone around to get a few quotes from the professionals
(sic) and only one was able to respond when I said "but I get digital fine
from my grotty old aerial as it is" and he basically said "it's possible
other frequencies will be used post analogue shut-off in which case you
won't get them with a group A".

It's cheaper to stock a single type of wideband aerial and booster than to
stock separate types for different aerial grouips that is why you're only
likely to be offered wideband.

That's true - but it's also easier to persuade a customer that they
should part with a lot of money if you put a huge looking beast on
their roof, rather than an =A310 18 element group A aerial, which may
perform better in this case!
