Any organisation who says dugital terrestial TV is better quality bthan analogue is lying. Whilst people getting a poor signal on analogue (usually a matter of the bright aerial installation) may see an improvement in quality the digital picturure qualty is actually grossly inferior to the analogue recieved at good strength. The technical explanation is long but is summmarised by money. The governemnt want to sell the TV spectrum for big money. Digital crams many programs into a small part of the spectrum, and does this by a processes called 'compression'. Compression means reduced detail especially on moving objects. Try finding the tennis ball at Wimbledon on digital it just a blur. The sound quality is far from CD quality and marked inferior to the clever Nicam system used on analogue. We are going backwards because of the government's greed.

This is the truth. I am a chartered engineer an fellow of the institute of electrical engineers, I'm not making this up.

Couldn't agree more Rod. Watching a football match is terrible. Each player is surrounded by a blob of pixels. I switch back to my analogue signal to watch the match where possible. Even normal programmes like corrie you can see the difference. As soon as someone turns their head or moves on screen a blur of pixels tries to catch up with the image. Trouble is most people aren't as knowledgable and will take the governments word for it. Hopefully technology will advance and higher definition images will get broadcast. That's if it still makes money for the people involved.
