Help required with cable distribution

I am a little bit stuck.
Befor digital switchover occured, the output of my V+ box was distributed through cable around thr house with channels 1-5 also available.
Now I have added a HDD dvd recorder.
All the cables for each room are in place.
What I want is to be able to watch V+ on all TV's and be able to watch DVD from the DVD recorder in each room.
I have tried putting a RF modulator from the output of the recorder to cable and an input from the aerial into the modulator.
The modulator will distribute the signal, but when i add the aerial to the mosulator the picture quality on all the other tvs is terrible. If i unplug the aerial I can watch whatever is on the HDD/DVD recorder i.e. the input from the V+ box.
Unfortunatley I need the aerial connected so I can choose between DTV on the other tvs and ATV for V+/ DVDs.
It's getting a little too complicated for me.
I have a distibution amp in the loft but it only has 1 UHF input and 1 VHF input. the ideal would be to combine 2 UHF outputs and a VHF input in the loft and send it round the house.
Can anyone advise best setup?
