Digital TVs will get a better picture than the older analog TVs. The ability to receive the signal is the problem you are experiencing. Do make sure you have purchased a digital to analog converter box for each of your older style televisions in the first place.

What is worse than before is the digital signals lose a lot over distance. I believe that is what is causing some of the difficulties especially if you are in a remote area.

This is why cable and satellite are so popular. The signal is either brought right to the connection you hook into, or in the case of a satellite, the dish retrieves the signal directed into the receiver then on to your television.

Relying on an air signal becomes more unreliable as you get farther from the broadcasted digital signal (away from towns or the station's transmitting antennas). I hope this helps. I'm afraid if you have satellite you'll be messing with that if you want reliable television reception.
