Hannington (Hampshire, England) transmitter

I live at RG20 9ED some 5 miles from Hannington. I have a modern rooftop aerial pointed to Hannington, and 95% of the time, enjoy faultless Freeview services on any of three TVs (two LCDs with bult in receivers), one CRT with Freeview set-top box. If it rains and the nearby high trees are in leaf, then we lose Mux1 services (BBC1, BBC2 etc) only - intermittent sound, severe pixelation, 'No Signal'. We still get a very good service on Mux 2 (ITV1 etc), some losses on the other Muxes. Question is: will the BBC Freecom service be boosted in power after the switchover, or should I be thinking about Freesat now? I am mystified why I should be losing the striingest of the Muxes during rain interference - any suggestions why. thanks
