A booster at the back or of the set can help, as the signal strength enterin ure freeveiw box determines the number of channels you can get, but booster are notorious for boosting the interference as well as the signal.
Best bet, wherever you live, wideband digi aerial and if the signal is still poor, a 'masthead amplifier'. These are amps to boost the signal, but they are close to the source and do not boost the interference.
All new aerial and amp and cable run should not cost more than around £135-150 by a professional installer (at least that is wot i would charge if you lived in norfolk...)

Shadowman is correct regards not needing a signal booster. It sounds as if the wiring setup may be wrong, are you going straight from the aerial point into the TV? If not, and you are running it through other equipment, it sounds as if something is blocking the other frequencies. I came across a similar setup problem with a guy who had run his sky box up to a splitter in his loft and combined it with the digital aerial signal. Only some channels were allowed through. If you ARE running directly from the aerial into the TV, it sounds like a TV fault.

I also live in a low signal freeview area but brought a PCTV card, freeview channels I got were brilliant but I was using an analog aerial. So I brought a 'super' digital aerial for low signal areas with posh coax cable and a mains signal booster...and got less stations!

a booster can only increase what signal is there,to get more signal try a higher antenna or a larger antenna,it worked for me.

You can only get the channels broadcast to Freeserve, signal is nil to do with it.

Have you got a high gain antennae, can make all the difference

i dont know if you will get more but it definitely improves the quality of your reception
