Picture is FAR better than analogue aerial pictures, and the thing I like most about em is they broadcast a true 16:9 picture - analogue transmissions are sent on "14:9L" format, which is basically just a bit bigger than normal 4:3, and they do this to save on bandwidth for transmission.
Digital TV has far more bandwidth to play with and you get a full 16:9 pic (and I mean full, as in it's filmed like that - yes even the news lol - and not just stretched out) - much better for watching films n the like.
Of course not everything is filmed in 16:9 tho, a lot of American comedy's etc (Simpsons, Friends, that sort of shit) is all 4:3 (for some reason the Americans don't seem to hot on filming TV stuff in widescreen
) so you can only view it in 4:3/14:9L.....
Will have alook for these, cheers mate
