Radio aerial for home stereo system

[kia cat]

we have two connections points to add an FM aerial both marked ╥ 75 Ω [couldn't find the symbol but this is the nearest; i.e. two updown upper case "L" facing outwards]
The wire one has little effect, the other is a co axial socket. Thinking of using the later and getting a loft aerial, but which to go for? we're near Gatwick, West Sussex so midway between the BBC/ITV transmitters @ Crystal Palace and whatever comes up from the South Coast.

If we fit an ordinary FM radio aerial now, will we then need to get a Digital Radio later for the future? Think our switchover date is 2012

There is no switch over for radio, only TV so any radio aerial you get installed will not need changing in the future.

Thanks Chuck, must've been getting confused with DAB aerials. It's not worth investing in that if we're unlikely to buy one I guess? Cheers

Unless you have a particular need to use DAB (i.e. want to listen to a station that is only on DAB) then stick with normal FM, as long as you have a decent FM reception then normal FM is far higher audio quality than DAB
