Probably, sort of correct, but then I am no expert.

It sat terms I don't think you have a 'digital' signal, the data is  
digital over an analogue signal (maybe sort of??)

Anyway you still get a signal strength that goes up and down as you  
point to/away from the sat., but you need a strong signal to get a good  
digital reception.

Isn't this the same as ADSL?
My phone line is not digital.

Take with large dose of salt as I really don't know what I am talking  
about, but it sounds good! :-)
