Not sure who you are stating is incorrect as your post is in-concise but both me and davidhwdn stated that there is no need for new sockets.

That's because instead of you quoting the post using the

tag, you did it in bold so it doesn't appear as being a quote but instead as you "shouting". You may want to leave it as a quote in future to save confusion.

Ah, I see the confusion.

When I moved into my new build house I put an aerial in the attic as it was easier than putting it on the roof. It gave a crappy analogue signal but as I already had analogue Sky that I brought with me if I wanted to tape a channel at the same time as watch another channel I just put up with the grainy picture and always taped from Sky.

Now I have Sky + and never used the analogue signal from the aerial in the attic on the TV , however my region finished switching to digital last Wed.

I have just bought myself a new digital TV and I connected my crappy aerial in the attic to my new TV, not really expecting much and what did I get? Perfect picture on every channel.

I also had a second aerial on the roof for my USB digital tuner in my computer but that was never all that good on a couple off the muxes but when they switched off the analgue signal and increased the digital signal that again has improved and I get perfect pictures on my computer as well.

So the analogue signal might be rubbish just now but there will be a vast improvement when your region goes digital.
