dave maden: There is no such thing as a "digital aerial".
As it says above "To receive signals from this transmitter, the aerial must be mounted for vertical polarization - the elements going from top to bottom. "
You just need, as long as the aerial is on the roof, a "bog standard" area, either group A or wideband.
