Digital broadcasting..

Ok, I'm going to ask what might seem a daft question, but in the office we are having a debate which can't be settled.

The arguement is

"Is digital broadcasting still sent as an analogue signal, albeit it's sending digital bits rather than an image."

Surely, you can't actually broadcast an elecrical signal that represents digital bits. I was under impression that digital broadcasting requires a higher frequency than that of normal TV and voice. Surely, some kind of D/A or A/D conversion must occur?

What do you think?
