Are All Tuners Created Equal?

I have an older cheapo Westinghouse HD flat panel in my bedroom (about 8 years old) and am getting some random pixelation despite having a relatively strong signal (5-6 out of 7 bars). I wonder if I might have better luck with a newer television equipped with a better internal tuner? Does this make any sense or is the picture quality strictly dependent on the antenna?

I understand that the tuner can only do so much with the signal but I seem to be about 98% there on the major networks and wonder if a different tuner could get me all the way there.

Thoughts? Are there any "stand-out" tuners or televisions which I should consider? Is periodic pixelation just a fact of life with OTA TV?

Thank you!!!
