With digital tv being phased in over the next few years, does anyone know what affect this is going to have on caravaners?  We've got one of those Stasis (?) areials on our van, will it still work?  Will we need to get it upgraded?  Can we just buy a digi box and use that?  Help!

Think you will just need a freeview box, aerials don't need to be changed.

Hi, we have the status (ufo type) and use it with a freeview box that cost £9.99 from tesco works fine but obviously only if you have a decent signal which applies to all the others models too. The only other way is to have satellite but freeview is easier and i just leave it set up.

As already said, you will just need a freeview box.  If you get a good signal with your aerial now then you will receive digital transmissions with it.

We are switching over in November this year. Several large retailers and a certain digital TV company have received warnings for misleading people into thinking they will need a special digital aerial or will need to change to satellite.  There is no such thing as a digital aerial, although in a very few cases in poor reception areas a high gain aerial may be required.
