Roblems with freeview reception in York area

We recently moved to the York area and have been having problems with freeview reception. BBC 1 and BBC 2 are the worst although other channels can be problematic.

I have tried googling and it seems there is work ongoing at a local transmitter that could be causing this but I can't work out whether it will sort itslf out or whether we need to look at alternative methods such as satellite.

Any thoughts welcomed :)

    Ask your nearby neighbours if they are having any similar problems, if they are not, your TV Aerial is most likely the cause of your problems.

    20+ year old narrow band antenna with equally as old water filled co-axial cable running from it? That'd be my first port of call.
