Answer 1

Your location seems to indicate that your ability to pick up TV signals can be a problem. If you were getting snowy images in analog, you probably are getting the blocky or No Signal images in digital.

You've got some options: Outdoor antenna, preamp, cable/satellite.

Bad weather shouldn't affect the frequency bands where broadcast TV sits on. It's more a problem with the higher frequencies for satellite.

Answer 2

Yes I think weather can cause disruptions to the tv if it is digital
