@Dave Lindsay - thanks, not really unfortunately. I plan to have a dish on the front of the house so dish plus aerial would probably have the builders running round trying to pull them both down!
Would it make sense to try a stronger aerial? It looks like he's used a very short DM log periodic...

Hi, I'm in Little Stanion in Northants just outside Corby NN18 8SB (nearest alternative postcode is NN18 8EY). Got a local installer to install a loft aerial and he's turned out to be worse than useless.
On main tv signal quality on most muxes it up at around 90-100/100 after turning the gain on the 4 way amplifier right up. Signal strength is at no higher than 24/100 (8/100 before I re-made up all his BNC ends!).
Regardless this doesn't seem to a problem for most channels. the HD channels suffer with intermittent drops in signal quality down to 0 for a few seconds, with no picture or major pixellation, before returning up to around 95/100. Strength is lower at around 18/100.
I can't get any of the Mux A channels.
The aerial guy is fobbing me off with every excuse under the sun- its the TV (brand new sony bravia that was fine when pointing to Oxford in my old house), it's the transmitter(checked several times on here- no major problems), we're in a bad signal area (everything seems to point to it not being THAT bad!).
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks
