Hello mate, I used to fit aerials and still fit satellites.
You almost certainly don't need a new aerial unless your one is very old.
There are a couple of things you can do without shelling out much dough.
1) Check your aerial is pointing the right way. To do this just look at it and make sure it faces the same way as all the others in your road (you'd be surprised how many just need altering a few degrees).
2) Unscrew the Coax connector from the end of the cable and make sure it is on properly (this is a VERY common reason to lose signal, loads of people put them on wrong).
If you think your connector is shitty get one of these;

Then get one of these;

If you need help just PM me mate, I'll help all I can.
