Hi,

I need to now before buying a receive + antenna set if there are always
on orbit around earth geostationnary or polar satellites transmitting
weather images in analog mode or all are now transmitting in digital mode ?

thanks

I don't think you really do need to know this ...

What you need to know is to buy a receiver capable of decoding digital,
that is where EVERYTHING is going to end up ... only ancient equipment
is still using analog--what holds am (mw) broadcast and fm broadcast to
analog is the sheer logistics in everyone upgrading to digital--along
with the broadcasters themselves.

If amateur radio was still a viable hobby (in terms of numbers) it would
also be making the jump to digital ... however, in vhf and beyond you
will find digital savvy amateurs.

Make sure the sat/weather receiver is able to do flash upgrades to its
firmware, otherwise it is liable to be obsolete before you can get it
out of the box ...

No special antennas are needed to "jump" between analog and digital ...
the same antenna will work for both ...
