Freeview scrambled after switchover

Hi,
If anybody could help me. I've been having problems with my Freeview since couple of days before the switchover. I have HUMAX F2-FOX T Box that had been working for 5 years then it just gives me scrambled pictures after the switchover. I live in E14 area which is getting signal from Crystal Palace. I have tried every possibilities, including new internal amplified aerial (Im using outdoor aerial), antenna attenuator (thought the signal was too strong), new freeview box (thought my old one was outdated and need a new one since switchover), new coaxial cables, moved the aerial around, manually and automatically retuned my freeview box for several times now, unfortunately none of those attemps was making any changes to it. my tv still scrambled, then at the end shows no pictures at all (shows 'no or bad signals' and 'this picture is scrambled or not available'). I open up the signal detection on the box it shows around 60-80% strength, but the quality is 0-10% only. this really bugs me because it just happened like that, I never touched anything on the box/tv/aerial before the switchover and was working perfectly until now. Havent been able to watch tv for 1 month now and its really frustrating as I have tried everything but no good outcome.
any suggestions?

Mark Fletcher: Yes, I have tried everything including the coathanger, using antena attenuator to reduce the signal, used the cheapest aerial bought, but still scrambled. the retune I did was also following the freeview procedures, unplug the main power and the aerial cable, etc. etc. I'm really puzzled with whats going wrong now.

Hi, My freeview box (Humax F2-FOX T) was working fine for 5 years then couldnt pick up any channels since couple weeks ago. I did reset and retune on April 18 but pictures still scrambled, then go 'no or bad signals'. I have tried every possibilities, including bought new antenna (both amplified and simple cheapest one), tried with new freeview box, new coax cable, moved the antenna around, retune and reset so many times, but still no luck. when I switch off the box for 1 minute, then on again, it shows pictures (clear) for only 30 secounds, then start to pixelate again, then completely gone. I check the signal strenght is very low (on freeview box). also tv on the other room lost all the channels. I live in E14 3HB area, on top floor, use roof aerial. Is there any interferences or work going on arouund the area? please help. its getting frustrating now..
