Jamie: The Sheffield transmitter is not a good option for you. You should get better results from either Emley Moor or Belmont. If you want the Leeds news service, the aerial should point roughly north-west to Emley Moor, from which you should get good results now, including HD.
If you want the Hull news service, the aerial should point roughtly east to Belmont, which completes switchover tonight. Retune after 6am. You may not get the Arqiva A and B multiplexes - shown as Mux C and D above, except that Sky Sports move from Mux B to Mux D at switchover - until after the power increases in November.
My best guess is that your aerial actually points to Belmont and is getting the BBC A multiplex from there, although it does raise the question of where it's getting BBC Two analogue from, since that no longer transmits from Belmont or Sheffield. If it's notably weaker than BBC One, it's probably from Emley Moor.

Jamie: For either Emley Moor or Belmont, the aerial's elements should go side-to-side. For Sheffield, they would be up-and-down. Most likely no-one on your street needs to use Sheffield, but you will see some aerials in the vertical position around the city, for those who do.

Jamie - if you live near crystal peaks you could be on Emley Moor or Belmont - Billsdale is much more further north than Emley but we do get overlap usually its the BBC channels on CH 34 from billsdale but its unlikely in s12
go look at your aerial is it pointing the opposite direction to a satellite dish or almost the same angle
if its opposite your on Emley if its similar your on Belmont
Judging by your previous post I suspect Belmont as the BBC and the ITV mux are much more powerfull than the other 4 muxes - this should be addressed tomorrow as the second phase of Belmont switchover happens BY 6 am
I have a feeling that when you rescan in the morning all will be well !
If not give me a call and I can nip out and put an analyser on your aerial and advise - as you live close by I wont charge for popping out and having a quick look - i live near Crystal Peaks too on the other side - you may have seen my van knocking around as im regularly in your area
if you rarely watch tv upstairs im assuming that you have sky downstairs
a cheaper option if your aerial is shot is to take a feed from your sky box to upstairs I normally charge £55 for doing this and if you want to control sky add £15 for a magic eye

Your on Emley moor then the signal from that transmitter is fairly consistent ie if you get bbc and itv you should get the others as they are on similar power (apart from ch49)
Emley moor switches over from the 7th of september so power levels will start to be increased
But the upping in power will mask underlying problems like water in the cable which is a common problem
so disconnect the aerial look at the connection - has it got signs of water is the braid starting to go black is there a white powder on the connections - these indicate water and need dealing with
