Mrs Thompson: Unfortunately Henley-on-Thames transmitter does not carry the Commercial channels and is not likely to.
The Commercial broadcasters cover 90% of the population by transmitting from 81 of the largest sites (by viewer population). There are over 1,000 small "filler-in" relay transmitters like Henley and for them to include these would roughly double their cost of transmission whilst only adding about 8.5% of the population to their potential viewer-bases.
As they operate to generate profit by selling advertising which they show to viewers, they don't consider it worth it. What you get from Henley are the Public Service channels only. The Commercial broadcasters have no "Public Service" obligation.
The difficulty with receiving from Crystal Palace in your area is due to the fact that it is in a valley. This is why the Henley transmitter was installed.
In some areas it "may" be possible to receive from Crystal Palace, but this could vary house by house. And in any case, a substantial aerial may be needed.
I went along Reading Road on Streetview and most aerials were on Henley. A few were on Crystal Palace.
The two transmitters are in almost the same direct, but it is easy to tell which an aerial is pointing to as Henley's are vertical and Crystal Palace's are horizontal. See this picture:
