Default Digital TV Signal boosting...

Hello peeps. My signal on my Digital TV is absolute bollox. I have less than a quarter of a bar on the tv signal strength. Its on a aerial booster already and it keeps breaking up all the time and doing my head in.

So, the question is:

Can you do/buy anything to boost the signal even more than a standard aerial booster?

Cheers
Mike

Decent roof aerial costs abotu Ł20-Ł25, installation varies of course. Get it replaced, and when you do, have them use satallite grade coax, and if you have to split it, split it in the loft and use and amplified splitter box, and don't split the cable off again after that - just run one length of coax to each point (one in each room you want a TV point to be in)

there is only one point, so shouldnt be too hard. ive read you can get special digital aerials. Do they make any difference, or a gimmick?
