We've also had digital from the beginning and have had one antenna upgrade since then.
Are you on the west side of one of the hills Barry? We are on the west side of the Old Northern Rd ridge and the Sydney UHF masts are out of sight, even from the top of our mast and amp. We got a separate UHF antenna pointed at the Illawarra transmitters.
We notice that pixellation does not usually happen when we get hit by rain or wind gusts. It seems to be when the rain/wind affects something between us and the transmitter. Sydney VHF can be affected and Illawarra UHF be fine, and vice versa.
