Well if you are using satellite and traffic is knocking out the signal there must be something wrong with the dish. Traffic should have no effect on either Satellite or digital reception unless the road is above roof level and between the Transmitter or Satellite  and your antenna/dish.

Satellite or Terrestrial?

TVs with inbuilt tuners require antennas not dishes. Two totally different modulation systems, DVB-T vs DVB-S, two totally different frequencies (UHF vs K-band (L-band from LNB), two totally different codecs (H.264 vs mpeg2).
