Was SBS signal stalling, now it's ABC (digital)

Newcastle , Mt Sugerloaf signal , Gateshead / Charlestown area.

The guy at HND TVs section says it's the coax from the antenna. I don't believe him , he's just trying to sell me a new booster, new antenna and new cables to go to the set top box (a TEAC) and from there to the (brand new Samsung ) analog DVD-R VCR combo and from there to the old 80cm NEC analgue TV.
The old NEC DVD VCR combo did the same thing with the ABC signal before the VCR part died.

ABC analog when I turn off the set top box is fine, but the picture and sound , while clear as it can be , is jurky and jumpy if I am watching ABC stations (analog and digital via the DAC set top box . Was fine a couple of weeks ago . Before I bought the DAC there were an issue with SBS for several weeks.

Like I said, not so long ago , it was SBS analog and digital that was doing this , but SBS is fine now.

The commercial stations analog and digital are fine.

Anyone else getting this problem via their set top box or digital TV tuner ?

Is ABC working on it's transmiitters or repeater network (in prep for ABC3 which comes on air soon I hear) ?
