Need a better antenna and new cable. Digital TV in the capital cities also 
uses ch 11 and 12 (225MHz) and your antenna probably has poor reception 
above 10 (211MHz). Reception at ch2 (67MHz) is no longer necessary, so some 
new vhf 'digital only' antennas no longer cover Band I and Band II, only 
Band III (Ch's 6-12).

Mine has 18 elements on Band III giving much better performance compared to 
the old 'Metro' antenna that wasted elements trying to be a very broadband 
antenna.

The older cable has probably deteriorated over the decades and its loss has 
perhaps doubled by now, so replacing it is suggested too.

# From what I can gather from Internet, the following are DTV transmission 
frequencies (Mhz):
   ABC  = 226.5
   Ch 7   = 177.5
   Ch 9   = 191.5
   Ch 10 = 219.5
   SBS   = 564.5
  I assume this represents both audio and video output, or is an average of 
the two?
