HD signal strenght from CP

A few weeks ago, there was an alteration to the frequencies used for FreeView from the main London transmitter, Crystal Palace. Since then, the HD signals read very low on the TVs, and indeed sometimes do have problems. Aerial system is a Log Periodic from Blake (not sure of the model as don't have the receipt, but less than 10 years old). That feeds a 10 output DA. Have several TVs on that DA, and all show much the same. Near 100% signal strength and quality on CH 22-35, but very low on 55-56. Have bypassed the DA and looked at the signal display on a TV in that condition. Pretty well the same. The log beam has a flying lead as supplied, and the F connectors between that and the downlead are good and clean. Everything is pointing at the aerial. But thought log beams were all wideband? Luckily, not that difficult to get at the aerial. Should I just replace it - or am I missing something obvious?
