Freeview and the ghost Channels -

Heya,

I just moved to Swindon and had to change from dvb-c to freeview. According to my landlady the former tenant first used freeview and later sky. The Sky box is still in the room but since I use my HTPC with a fairly standard monitor (19" with d-sub and DVI-In) to watch tv I can't use it. After spending the afternoon finding the best program to watch tv on the pc (for me mediaportal with tv-server) I had some issues with the aerial reception itself. TV-Server shows me a possible of over 50 programs. But I can only receive bbc 1-3 and ITV1 in a remotely watchable state. All the other are either not showing up at all or provide 1 picture every 2 minutes. I tried two different USB DVB-T Sticks and both had the same issues. The signal is provided by rooftop aerial and there is even a signal booster (and signal router) in the room - even though I have the strange feeling that the signal get's weaker with this thing on. Is there anyway I can improve the reception quality? I'm out of Ideas.
