The pixelization I was talking about was from reduced bandwidth from the broadcaster because they aren't giving it enough bits per second needed to make 720p or 1080i look really good (rare pixelization, or none, instead of frequent.) It's not related to what channel it happens to be broadcast on or if it's vhf or uhf - it's the same signal. When you have reception problems with digital, you don't get pixelization... you get no picture whatsoever. Pixelization doesn't really describe it well. It's more like parts of the picture becomes degraded into discernible blocks, instead of smooth and seamless.
Anyway - when you see it, it sucks!
