I've got freeview and have an aerial in my loft. Just recently the picture has been breaking up quite badly on certain channels and the signal strength is really low. Oddly, BBC channels seem to be fine but alot of the other channels aren't.
I'm guessing i need to get a better aerial. Anyone got any advice cos i haven't got a clue about these things?
cheers

Are you sure the aerial is still pointing in the right direction? Could it have been knocked by anyone whilst up there?0
