Freeview reception - all about aerials | Installing

I have inbuilt freeview with our recent LG TV,
our pictures have begun to break up while we have been watching a programe,every few seconds the small box with [NO SIGNAL] pops on to the screen,we can usually watch bbc 1 and channel 80 but this is now starting to do similar.
We have asked a tv guy to help,he changed two boxes near the aerials,which contained printed circuites,this only lasted a couple of hours,not good for £84.00.Can anyone give us reasons for this change of our reception.

TWO 5 to 6inch diameter boxes,both containing printed circuits were removed,when shown to me they appeared to be
dirty and old,each was joined together with a length of co-axial cable.my neighbours in one case had the same problem,some time ago but his was ok on completion..nb:he has two aerials on his bungalow chimney,[as in my case]I have been to see a local reputable tv co..THEY are fully booked for two weeks..
I HAVE a small 12volt electric unit,connected to the rear of tv ,into the aerial,this was fitted 3yrs ago..Ihad it checked out it is ok...it sends millie amps up to the aerial from its transformer.?

I HAD A LOT OF VERY USEFUL INFORMATION FROM YOURSELVES,But had to call in another TV engineer,your information was a great help because I was able to undestand what he said.His company was A [CAI] MEMBER.
The origional guy had removed the AMPLIFIER but not the faulty 12V POWER SUPPLIER,he had removed the DIPLEXER and not replaced it subsequently his new AMPLIFIER was ruined.I now have excellent pictures from the ROWRIDGE TRANSMITTER john hunt..
