Default Analog car tv, can I just install a digital antenna?

Hi guys

My double din head unit has built in analog tv, never used it and just about to fit an analog antenna, however with analog tv coming to an end very soon what are my options, can I just add a digital antenna and then receive a signal or do I have to fit some sort of freeview box, analog/digital convertor?

Thanks
A

Cheers, just ordered and had delivered an analog antenna and was wondering if it was worth even fitting it due to the change over soon.

Thanks for the offer but if have to fit and wire up another box I may just leave it.

Was hoping a digital antenna may suffice, but also not!

Cheers
Arron

Not a problem mate to be honest always wondered what the tv reception was like in cars with built in tv ie. big bm`s / x5 etc ?? sure they use the antenna built around the rear screen ????
