As Dave wrote, maybe the chipset is older and can't deal with multipath
so well.

Yes: It takes a long time, several seconds, for a DTV box or receiver to
latch onto a data stream. You can't just zip the rotor through to see
what'll pop up like in the good old NTSC days. Move it 10 degrees, wait
10sec, move another 10 degrees, wait 10sec, and so on. Maybe it sticks
at some point.
DTV out here has huge problems with multipath. We have a top-notch
antenna but lose digital channels at random. Analog is fine but only
until early next year :-(
