No longer receiving Saorview- aerial problem?

    We've noticed our Xtrend box is no longer picking up the free-to-air terrestrial channels such as RTE, Virgin, etc. A scan completes almost immediately and picks up absolutely nothing.

    I'm at a loss as to what's going on so I took some drone footage of our aerial:

    Does anyone know, by looking at this, if there might be a problem with our aerial that causing our box to suddenly not pick up the usual channels?

    (We had a new stove installed not too long ago and I'm wondering if the installers disturbed something when fitting the new cowl.)

    The black cable you see in this joins up with a satellite cable elsewhere, with the combined cable later split just before going in to the STB.

    Yes, right there, white cable disconnected from the aerial.

    The reflector is loose too and now 90° out of line with the elements. It needs to be stuck back in its slot
