Freeview reception - all about aerials | Installing

Hi,
I have recently installed a humax pvr and found that many of my channels are highly pixilated, signal is mostly very good through tv and if l put it through my ps3 play tv then it is still far better than pvr.
I live in postcode ky10 2ab
I have high gain aerial in loft (3 stories up) but only standard single shielded coax cable and a booster behind tv.
Would rather not( if possible) have to put aerial on roof as long way up and wind will frequently blow it around.
Can you please advise if l need wideband aerial, if l need masthead amp and where do l put booster and finally would replacing cable with wf100 sat cable would be enough?

Thanks for advice briantist, thing is signal through tv is great but not through pvr. Looking further into the tuners the tv has better capability when dealing with poor signal strength so would replacing the cable with double shielded cable and potential better positioning of aerial be adequate. Putting it outside would prove to be expensive and would rather keep costs down.
