I've had digital TV for several years and the major irritation is the "all or nothing" aspect. With the old analogue systems (terrestrial and satellite) degraded signal = degraded image but you could still watch it through the snow. With digital, if there's not enough 1s and 0s then you just get a frozen mosaic - not good in East Yorkshire where heavy rain isn't exactly a rare event

God is our guide! from field, from wave, From plough, from anvil, and from loom; We come, our country's rights to save, And speak a tyrant faction's doom: We raise the watch-word liberty; We will, we will,we will be free!
