Waltham (Leicestershire, England) Full Freeview transmitter

Have had roof-mounted wideband aerial pointed to Waltham for past 10 years with only very occasional digital reception problems. I am located at DE23 3BF. Reception deteriorated on 17 Aug with MUX 1 switched over (now BBC A). Experiencing very blocky/ no sound. Was hopeful that problems would be resolved at final DSO, but no joy yesterday and same today. Still very blocky reception, but gob-smacked that MUX A (SDN) seems fine (ie. as before DSO, but still at low power). Other MUXes are reasonable, but not brilliant.
Decided to contact the freephone number for DigitalUK and they told me to complain to my MP (since it was the government who sanctioned DSO in the first place). I was surprised to learn that DigitalUK does not register complaints to the broadcasters.
Any suggestions PLEASE?

Thanks for your comments, kB Aerials. I have 2 TVs fed from an unamplified splitter. I have tried a back of set booster and get marginally better service, but still not as good as before DSO.I have the feeling that I am losing signal at the splitter, so will replace/ resolder the coax plugs as necessary. I will also relocate the booster in the loft (ie. to where the aerial lead comes into the house). Thanks again.
