Do I need a digital tuner?
The difference between analogue is that the signal could be receive direct to the TV without the need of decoding. Nowadays, all new televisions have the digital decoder within their tuner and therefor can decode the digital signal without any problem. This allows the ability to have a better EPG (program guide), Pay TV, Games and interactive channels.
The digital signal also helps mitigate the interference from WI-FI and local mobile phone masts. Although, with the rise in this kind of technology, there can still be problems with interference.
Conclusion
The main difference between a digital TV aerial and an analogue aerial is that the internal filter helps with signal. At the end of the day, they are both designed to pick up a signal. Analogue aerials can still pick up a digital signal and they can work perfectly well in certain locations
