My grandfather is setting up an aerial antennae to receive OTA digital TV. One of the components that he purchased was a mast-mounted 2-piece signal booster of the type normally used to amplify analog OTA television. He asked me if he should use the amplifier or not after the digital conversion, and after thinking about it for a bit, I realized that I didn't know. One concern I had was that an analog booster might somehow "garble" the digital signal rather than enhancing it.
Surely this has come up before somewhere on the internet, but I haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer by googling. Does anyone know whether a signal booster would be beneficial or detrimental to his ability to resolve weak digital signals? If it would have no effect or a negative effect we would like to return the booster.
