I do hope someone can help as this is driving me crazy. I live about 3 miles from Crystal Palace. Until they built the monstrous flats right in front of me, you could SEE the transmitter directly ahead of you, back in the days when reception was perfect.
Now, tuning into Freeview via my PCTV T290e DVB-T USB tuner, you get between 1% signal strength and 100% - it's massively inconsistent and the slightest touch of the aerial knocks everything out.
Tried aerial amplifiers, amplified (and non-amplified) aerials, the tiny portable antenna that came with the tuner, and limited success. In fact the amplified aerials seem to have yielded the worst results.

Any suggestions?
