Whilst you've posted on the DAB transmitter page, there's not currently any useful information on the Freeview page. Whilst you aren't totally clear about your problem, I'm assuming you mean the picture is "pixellating" ie getting a bit blocky. You haven't mentioned if the sound also breaks up, nor which channels are affected.
As you haven't given a full postcode we can't tell what your normal predicted reception should be like. Was your aerial professionally installed?
The Midhurst transmitter is currently listed for Planned Engineering with "Possible Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels" ;. This could explain your issue.
Other than that I assume you are correctly tuned to Midhurst's UHF channels C48, C35, C36, C29, C34, C33 (note unfortunately the site owner has made an error with some of the updates at the top of the page).

It's not clear on this page so I'll just ask. Does the Midhurst transmitter broadcast any channels above 694MHz? I'm aware that the mobile networks 5G operates on higher frequencies (800MHz+ AFAIK) but it's not clear if TV transmissions on these higher frequencies have stopped now. I ask as I'm looking for a new aerial and most of them only cover up to 964MHz now, not up to 860MHz.
