alan: If you must really use a loft aerial, and I would suggest you use a rooftop aerial if you possibly can, the official advise is to make sure you use satellite-grade coaxial cable to connect it to the TV set, to offset the losses caused by putting the aerial in an unsuitable location.

Dave Adams: I would start by doing 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 to the box.
However, the 9150 PVR has been known to have problems during the "mixed mode" situation between the first and second dates of switchover.
So, either wait until the morning of Wednesday 21st September 2011 or clear the channels out by scanning with the aerial out and then do a manual add for:
C39, C41, C44, C47, C51 and C59.

Matt: From memory, it's code for the BBC services are being taken from the backup satellite transponder and are not as well statmuxed, so whilst the number of bits remains the same, the perceptual quality can be down.

Steveharvey04: Terry Mahon isn't quite right about the meaning, but his diagnosis is essentially correct, your equipment is on this list:
TVs and boxes that do not support the 8k-mode | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice
and so will no longer function. A set-top box should be swapped out for a newer model, a television set will now need to use a set-top box.
If you have equipment dating back to the 1998-2002 era, you will probably see quite a lot of benefit from using a modern box.
