Freeview reception has changed? | Freeview Interference

I have recently moved to postcode SN3 1PT and have re-tuned my idTV from scratch. I have lots of missing channels including band 2 (ITV1, C4 etc.) I can receive ITV1 and C4 via analogue although the reception is not great.

I have no other electrical devices on in the flat. I'm not sure where the aerial is located. Should I expect to receive the band 2 channels ?

Thanks Brian. I'm not sure what the problem is, although we are a long way from the nearest transmitter in Swindon which may partly explain it. I guess the problem is likely to be aerial related. I can't actually see where the aerial is, gonna give the landlord a ring this evening and try and find out if he knows where its located.

Assuming I can't change the aerial position,
will the reception quality improve by the digital switchover date (mid September) or am I best of going down the freesat route?
