CT100 is definitely the right stuff.

Could your signal be too strong?  Try an attenuator, passive splitter,
or temporarily moving the aerial slightly off-beam...

I assume your aerial's the correct group and polarisation?

Double-checked all the connections?

Might be worth asking on uk.tech.digital-tv, see if they have any better
ideas.
