Do I need a special aerial for digital TV?

when the weather is bad my picture breaks up into little blocks or freezes, i then have to put it through the video to get a decent picture, also some freeview programmes come on for few seconds then goes off saying no signal. Can anyone please asvise me.

Answers:
Some areas of the country have poor reception, usually because of being a long distance from a transmitter. You can check your postcode on the website, below, to see if you are in a good reception area, and also get other information. Possibly your aerial is not up to scratch. The weather may be an influence, it can be very bad with satellite TV during heavy storms.
thats just how digital tv is. i have direct tv and it does that all the time when it rains or it is windy. There really isnt anything you can do about it. sorry.
The video helps because it amplifies the signal a bit. Ideally you need a wideband antenna, which is correctly aligned.
I had this problem when using my Freeview box. In my case, it was not the aerial at fault but some of the connections. Check both ends of the aerial input cable. Also, sounds silly, but make sure all the connections to your digi box/tv/video are pushed in completely. Good luck!
get a satelite, it is pretty much weather proof and the signal is undisturbed. alternatively put your aerial indoors/in the loft to stop it bieng blown about. or get cable.
