Your aerial installer has got something badly wrong. It could be poor wiring, wrong type of aerial or poor alignment, its not looking at the transmitter.

It sounds like the digital aerial may be the problem. Also try the Scart and other input settings on the Freeview box.
Where I live some neighbours have poor reception. It could be due to a nearby tower block with mobile phone and taxi aerials on its roof, in line with the local TV transmitter.
It may be worth looking in your neighbourhood to see if there is any structure in the way.

There is no such thing as a digital aerial. Being an old timer I recall when folks were buying "color" antennas for their color sets. ChannelMaster cleaned up on the notion that color reception needed a special antenna.
It is always best to use an aerial tuned to the channel you want to receive.

Get the installers back, and point it at the correct transmitter!
