Nick: You can get Freeview boxes for as little as £20, sometimes less. They will usually work for two or three years, but they often fail after this time because they are on 100% of the time and the quality of the components is lower.
You can surge protect your equipment - all my computer equipment is on a surge protector that was pulled off a PSBX about 20 years ago - if you want.
UK mains electricity rarely has brownouts, if you had poor wiring and equipment with dirty switches (such as cheap thermostic equipment) a surge protector might be a good idea, if you don't then it would be a waste of money.

Michael Cole: Did you do this My Freeview box has no EPG, is blank on FIVE, ITV3, ITV4, ITV2+1, has no sound or the channel line up is wrong | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice ?
I suspect you didn't as BBC FOUR is now on the main BBC multiplex (BBCA).
If you did, then see Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
In particular, if you have a booster or amplifier, remove it from your system.

brendan: It is covered on the Waltham - retune required Wednesday 13 April 2011 | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page.
The TV Licence has to be paid regardless of your reception problems, and as I am sure you know pays for BBC services only.

d shannon: A reduction? The signals are considerably stronger (they have gone from 20kW to 180kW).
If you are having problem you probably have overloaded your system.
If you have a booster or amplifier, remove it, this will clear any problems.
