I can only comment on my fathers experience, located in a poorer signal area in the burbs
of Melbourne, am radio worked ok, fm worked ok, digital won't work unless external antenna
connected as it keeps dropping out.
Usual digital experience sold as the bees knees but really only ones that benefit are the Government
as they can then sell the old frequency spectrum to the mobile phone companies when they can
get every one to move across.
Like digital TV, was sold as better picture, for some maybe from a interference or poor signal
perspective when you used to get ghosting etc, though in those cases digital generally doesn't
work at all.
Form where I am I have line of sight to the TV transmitters, old CRT picture was heaps better
than the current Panasonic Plasma, real disappointment watching the footy etc with all the pixelation
when quick movement is involved and they sell it is HD TV!
