If you're referring to the antenna shown in the attached image (23), then yes, that is for both DAB and TV reception.

It is indeed an aerial for both digital radio and TV. I overlooked it because my S8 never had that one fitted. There are several variants of each one, but if you don't mind waiting another day, I'll look into the differences for you.

I'd do it today, but I've a job interview coming up tomorrow (my first in five years having been out of work for nine) and I'm trying to prepare and psych myself up.
