It's possible that you're picking up some sort of RF or electrical interference. Do you have anything near your tv in the way of wireless devices or do you keep your mobile phone on a table near your tv by any chance?

Amplifiers downstream of the feeder cable from the TV aerial are of limited use and if the signal is bad to start with you'll just be amplifying unwanted mush. I'd be inclined to have your TV aerial looked at and if necessary have it replaced with a higher gain one with new cable and connectors if the existing ones have degraded over time.
