There is no problem currently with SBS , Nine , Seven , Ten , Go! , or One , via the DA set-top box.
If the problem was the coax cables or the antenna , I would have picture problems on all digital stations I would think , not just ABC only. I can only deduce the problem is at the other end (something wrong at the transmitter or in ABC's hardware).

The eye and the human brain are more sensitive to any form of pixelation. We've accepted signal interuption on our TV reception for 50 years and whenever we get a slightest hint of the odd ghosting and electrical interference on analogue, the brain just ignores it. Now that digital TV is new, we expect perfect 100% reception and the slightest drop in pixel the brain detects it.
As a ex-TV MATV installer, I'd bet you need to improve your reception field strength - i.e. Start with the antenna.. always. I'm tippin' that's your problem.
