Excuse my ignorance, but what is a digital antenna?

Whos wanking, he has a genuine question that you obviously cant answer.

"LDL"

Digital television is still using the same frequencies as the normal
analogue television but the carrier wave will contain the digital signal
rather than the both.

Digital television can come in standard definition and there are high
definition channels. The following channels are in High definition in
the major cities of Australia.

Channel 20 for Channel 2
Channel 30 for SBS 28
Channel 70 for Channel 7
Channel 90 for Channel 9
Channel 12 for Channel 10.


** LDL has mixed up the facts quite a bit.

........ Phil

Maybe LDL has been on too much of the UDL?

Are you trying to cause trouble?


Moi? Never. I just thought your suggestion was hilarious.

Of course it was fucking hilarious! Do you think that I do this for
fun?

The answer to my question should have been "Yes!". Please don't forget
it.

** LDL has mixed up the facts quite a bit.

The channel numbers he quotes above are the new, agreed digital channel
numbers - NOTHING to do with the official analogue FREQUENCY related
ones that have been around for decades.

In reality:

ABC uses analogue Ch 12 for SD, HD and ABC2.

Channel 7 uses analogue Ch 6 for SD and HD.

Channel 9 uses analogue Ch 8 for SD and HD.

Channel 10 uses analogue Ch 11 for SD and HD.

SBS uses analogue Ch 34 for SD, HD and SBS 2.

( Channel 31 is an analogue signal only )

Each old analogue channel can accommodate 2 x SD and 1 x HD signal
simultaneously.

I was refering to the digital channels in their location not in comparison
to the analogue - smart mouth.

And no, I was not drinking.

** The above is true for the Sydney area and also other capital cities,
except for Ch 31 which is seen only in Sydney.

In rural areas, the VHF band has already been phased out almost
completely and digital TV appears on UHF channels.

Digital TV is still "Free-to-Air"
Doesn't cost a cent apart from the initial set-top box which can be had
for well under $100.
Digital has lots of advantages over analog, and it is available now.
Yes, there are some shortcomings too, but they are relatively minor.



** I still cannot find any true "digital antennas" on sale in Sydney.

That is, one that covers channels 6 - 12 VHF and 28 - 69 UHF - eg Hills
have them in their trade only catalogue.

All the shops and antenna installers want to sell you a full VHF/UHF job.

Big and UGLY !

Matchmaster have digital only models
http://www.matchmaster.com.au/
Presumably will sell to the public, based in Punchbowl.

** Their DC15 looks like a nice one - reasonable gain and only 1.5 metres
long.

Sold in packs of 5.

Shame about that.
