Shortly in the UK we'll also be losing the analogue TV and me as a
viewer. I currently see the supplied digital channels using a digital
decoder box. Picture quality is noticeably poorer than the analogue
stuff, particularly on skin tones flat colour surfaces and American
imports. Sort of paint it by numbers.

Can't agree. The image from the digital decoders we have (DVB Samsung)
is much better than analog especially with multiple TVs connected in
parallel. But you really should use a scart cable, not composite
video.

(It is via SCART)
I think the problem is that I can see the Emley moor transmitter through my
window, (about 5 miles away). A bit of wet string gives a good quality
analogue picture and the steerable aerial on the roof need pointing off beam
to keep the signal levels down. For years now I've been used to the best
that analogue can offer, hence easy to notice when intrinsic picture
quality degrades.
Although I've talked to people in mediocre reception areas who benefit from
picture improvement with the digital.
Some win some lose.
