It is the digital equivalent to your TV going black of showing interference. Just lack of a good signal.

The problem with Sky is that bad weather can effect the quality of the signal your dish is receiving. There is nothing Sky can do about this. If you don't want interference on your TV when the weather is bad then switch to Cable (NTL or Telewest). Unfortunately for me I have to put up with Sky because there is no digital cable in my area.

Digital T.V needs a good signal and heavy cloud, snow or storm affects the strength of the signall.
If you have a digibox you can see the strength of your signall under normal circumstances you may be in a bad area or your receiver is not aligned correctly.

Digital TV needs a really good signal.
If the weathers bad the signal getting to your aerial will be slightly less powerfull.
Digital TVs work slightly differently to analogue ones, so when the signal is too weak to decode it just keeps displaying the image it loaded up last, this creates the freezing effect.
hope it helps.
Get a better aerial, the best you can afford, and mount it as high as you can, that'll cure it.

The heavy rain/snow blocks out the signal! Just like you can't see so far through heavyrain/snow, the signal can't get through.
