Bad assumption. They do, or at least the connections do, unless the
installer is very particular about sealing the cap and cable entry.
Most cheapo "contract" aerials will have water in the connection box
after the first shower of rain.

... then so do you mean it is a different spec for Freeview?

Depends where you are. In some places the Freeview Multiplexes are not
with in the same aerial group as the analogue transmissions, fitting
an aerial the properly covers the required frequencies will help.

Also do you mean the downlead should be of satellite quality?

CT100 has considerably less loss than bog standard "TV Coax". The less
signal you lose the better...
