Try a better aerial? What sort have you used? I use one of these on a long telescopic pole when on site. Works spot-on

Coverage can be patchy. Especially for that new fangled digital. The best coverage site is http://www.dtg.org.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as they publish maps with reception useful during UK travel.
