Yep it's a TV aerial
Why should it need a different one if it worked okay before switch over ?
Because TV aerials are banded for the area they are used in. Digital TV uses more of the available frequencies so ITV could not be outside the original band so you could receive a weaker signal.
The aerials are 'tuned' for the specific band so they receive the strongest signals for the programmes for your area. Its all to do with the length of the receiving element on the aerial being the correct length for the wavelength of the signal you want to receive.
I could be wrong as I often am

C/D ???
So why is nobody else having a problem or is nobody else talking to me
Everyone is having the same problem, they are just trying to make you crazy (er). My ITV is perfect by the way
Not ignoring you but just come back on-line, my Mum has terrible problems with reception even on free view but I assumed it was because of where she lives. Seems that is not the case as my thoughts were that as she lives in a low lying area could be the cause. Seems as you live a lot higher up that theory goes out the windowC/D ???

only just seen this dave don't come on this section much cos i'm a technical numpty, but our freeview since switch oer keeps changing to Black n White n then reverting back, digital is crap in my book hate it.
Your just having flash backs.
Unless the water in the water filled magnifying glass in front of the screen is dirty
we can't get a freeview signal at all here. When we moved in 11 years ago I rang NTL(as it was then) and asked if they would put cable on teh estate( teh cable runs along teh main road I believe) as they would easily get 20-30 people to sign up as teh terrestrial signal was always dire but they wouldn't so we have teh choice of Sky or now freesat only...
There is a small fill in repeater on a stick on Royds Ave so Woodnook can get TV signals. Its been there for years. I am surprised they did not do something similar for you - you pay your licence fee after all.
Changing to black and white cashy, must know your an old codgerits cos yer a dingle nobodys talking.
I have freeview on the computer, with Windows Media Centre. I can see a list of frequencies that are available. There are some frequencies around 500Mhz and some around 780Mhz. If I tune into the 500Mhz signals my picture quality always breaks up and sticks, but in the 780MHZ range the quality is perfect.
Some freeview boxes give you an option to move the channels around. Your box may have picked up the 500Mhz range and put that on the number 3 slot. You may find that the 780Mhz range has been stored elsewhere.
Some freeview boxes don't have this option at all, so they are useless in this area.
We have a 7" silverline tv in the kitchen (bought from Lidl a few years ago) this picks up the weak signals but stores the better ones further down the channel list, I swapped the channels around and have perfect picture quality.
We have a durabrand (from Asda) freeview box that has no option to change the channels around, making this box rubbish and not used.
My parents have an Asda Hdd freeview box that picked all the better channels and put them in the proper place, so this is a good one.
I think it's a bit hit and miss with the freeview boxes, so I would recommend asking what other people are using and if the boxes work. I also don't think paying more money for a box will make it better, it's all in the software. Some cheap ones work ok, some don't. same with the dearer ones.

I bought a scart attachement that picks up Freeview signals. I chose this option because it is neat and out of sight, with just the Infra-red thingy for the remote control visible on the front of the set. ITV pictures are perfect, and this is with just a portable aerial.....not connected to my roof aerial.
So can you get ITV for example on more than 1 frequency?
If you you must be picking it up from a repeater.
Winter Hill is 735-799,
