Digital radio and television are lame schemes, period. To get the same
quality as analog, you have to have a much wider bandwidth in digital.
Encoding schemes are ways of narrowing bandwidth required to broadcast, but
they all have some trade-offs. I've not been impressed with digital
satellite at all. Too much weather related dropout, and too much
pixelization, especially during fast scene transitions..

If you're getting weather-related drop-outs, it means your dish
installation is inadequate -- not big enough, not pointing in the
right direction, or suffering from water penetration.
