I see - but I'm not sure which type of aerial I have - it just says it 
is a "high gain digital outdoor aerial"... it's a "masterplug 
aero16-mp", but googling for details gives practically nothing :-(

Yes, this is the one....

Thinking about it, it's just as bad in our house, which has the aerial 
fitted to the roof (2 storey) and no trees around it. If we are only 3-4 
miles from the transmitter, I don't see how anyone is going to receive 
this mux well...

 I may try a friends booster to see if it will make any difference - I 
don't think it is my connections or aerial, as the digibox in the house 
seems to have the same problem....

Anyway, guys, thanks for all the suggestions. If i find a solution I 
shall let you know.
