VHF low band channels 2 thru 6 , have Always had reception situation situations.
Analog low band Tv reception situations , show in the picture.
Snow from weak signal.
Drifting lines.
Wiggle lines of FM radio interference (mostly on channel 6 because channel 6 is next to the FM radio frequencies).
Dashed lines of electric motor interference.
Multipath/reflections also known as ghosts.
All those years of interference in the analog picture were common , and people did not think much about it , was accepted as Tv reception , that is the way it was.
The same reception situations effect Digital Tv transmission and reception.
The Digital Broadcast Computer Tuner can make corrections for the different types and kinds of interference and low signal strengths and maintain a clear picture.
However at some point the Digital Tuner will not be able to correct all the situations and the picture will break up into blocks and or go blank. And with Digital Tv the sound goes out also.
_________________________________________
The following recommends are for Digital Tv transmission and reception Only.
For low band Digital transmission and reception a way to over come the interference issues is to increase transmission power.
The FCC should authorize low band transmission power increase beyond what is maximum allowed now.
Make a new stronger maximum allowed.

And an other way is transmitter antenna tilt , tilting the transmitting antenna at more of a downward angle so that more of the signal strength power is concentrated in a smaller area of the transmission area.
