I get completely the opposite. I'm also in a poor reception area.
Analogue signals mostly work OK, and degrade nicely when they don't
(a bit of snow here and there, slightly fuzzy sound occasionally).
Digital signals on the other hand are full of glitches, and have
terrible degredation characteristics. Even just a rain shower is
enough to completely lose the audio, and cause the image to freeze
for several seconds, which effectively makes it unwatchable. It'll
be a sad day when analogue broadcasts are turned off. I understand
that they've sacrificed some redundancy in the signal in order to
try and fit more channels into the available bandwidth, but from my
experience, I'd say they've taken it a bit too far.
