Consiquently I need a new aerial, one which can recieve both the analogue wavelength and the digital one.
Sorry, I was trying to keep down the cost by suggesting that you convert the existing analogue signals that you are receiving.

It does depend on how long you expect to stay at your present location.

A good wideband aerial like you've mentioned should get both analogue and digital and if you are close to a number of transmitters you may get out-of-area channels as well. My 43-element wideband aerial can take signals from Winter Hill and from Moel-Y-Parc in Wales.

I live in South Manchester. A neighbour has a 50-element aerial and gets signals from the Sutton Coldfield transmitter near Birmingham so your 71-element aerial should reach some distance.
