Freeview (and Freeview HD) signal strength is ideal at 75% and quality should be 100% for trouble free viewing.
Possible picture pixilation and sound outages may be due to bad connections in your setup, poor quality coax and possibly water in the down lead. A faulty distribution box is rare but a possibility too. Digital signals ideally should not be amplified, a quality aerial is all that should be necessary as amplification increases noise. If you are using a distribution box, and most houses do these days, use the pass through (full output) for your main viewing to give you direct connection to your aerial.
Fluctuations in signal quality point to connection problems.
