thank you!

Well, you're very close to Crystal Palace and the predictor suggests you should only need a set-top aerial. So it's a bit odd that you should be getting absolutely nothing from your unit, which has previously worked very well.

You really shouldn't need any kind of signal booster ... which room are you using this in? Are there any big, solid walls between yourself and the transmitter? If you're not sure which way the transmitter is from your house, have a look out the window and see where all the other aerials are pointing.

If possible, get hold of a directional TV aerial and give that a try - make sure you point it the right way, and out of a window facing the transmitter if at all possible. Unless your USB unit has somehow got broken, a slightly better aerial should be all that is required.
