Digital aerial advice

Which is the best one to get?
Been in this house 8 years and no idea how old the aerial is - it is old and small.
We have x7 TV's in the house.

All tv's in the house have lost terrestrial TV.
Checked the booster in the attic, that is fine.

I can tune the tv's and they come up with a channel list, but hardly any of them produce a picture.
Worked previously (last time I checked was around 12 months ago - we usually watch Sky so havent noticed).

Must be the aerial.....so which one is good / what should I buy?

Thanks

Had a look at the surrounding neighbours.
Most point the same direction as mine, a couple do point towards the Bilsdale transmitter.
They are mostly the standard type aerial, some have double aerials (one on top of the other).

The aerial is on the roof, I was going to do it myself but I may get a price from a local company.
It is mounted on a sturdy looking short pole, connected with double brackets.

Heights ain't my strong point, I could do it but I would be shaking like a sh*ting dog lol

UPDATE:
Got a local company around to change the aerial, I thought the 6 way booster in the loft was ok, as it was lit up and looked normal.
Turns out it wasn't working correctly.
They replaced the booster.

All sorted now.
Thanks
