Digital set-top boxes (slightly O/T) - weak signal area.

Hi.Been thinking about digital TV as I don't want satellite, or anysubscriptions over and above the licence fee, bit would welcome someof the digital free-to-air channels. In my area, the signal isn't too good. However, with a signalbooster, all the analogue channels come through perfectly.The BBC's web page says that my area is marginal for digitalbroadcasts (with some localities unsuitable owing to terrain) but Iwas wondering if the booster I use for analogue transmissions wouldalso deal with the digital signal.My original idea was to buy one of the boxes from Argos and see if itworked; I could then take it back for a refund if it didn't.Unfortunately, these items are excluded from Argos' 15-day money-backguarantee, which leaves me kinda stuck.Has anyone got any advice about this?TIA,Jon

Funny way of spelling "correct".
