Knowing my luck if I did manage to replace it, we'd get a phone call from the estate agents as soon as my feet were back on the ground to say they've sold the house and we have to move out.
Hmm, could always mount it in the attic...
A 71 element 10-14dB gain antenna should be ok in the loft right?

If you are already receiving analogue signals for the channels then surely your TV should convert them.
I suspect that you have either not accessed the Freeview card in your TV or that you may need to get the card to do a channel signal search for your area so that your TV can tune itself in.
Another possibility is that somehow your Freeview card has become temporarily disabled. Occasionally I have to turn my TV off as leaving it in standby for long periods seems to render the internal Freeview card inactive. Turning the TV off reboots the card and reactivates Freeview.
If the Freeview card no longer works then getting a cheap Freeview box is cheaper, safer and more cost-effective because if you have to move you can take it with you..unlike the aerial.
