jb38: Thank you for your help - I've just unsuccessfully tried this, but that is due to the limitations of Windows Media Center which receives our TV signal. It doesn't give frequencies and doesn't allow manual tuning. Weirdly it doesn't even seem to work through the frequencies in a logical order as it finds two BBC1's within the first 1% of searching, when the two transmitters seem to broadcast these channels on very different frequencies. Maybe I'll try without the amp and see what we get then!

jb38: I worked out another way around the issue within Media Center. Basically, once the tuning is complete you can go through each channel and select which frequency you want to receive it via - the details on this page and that for the Hannington transmitter were invaluable for this! Thereby you can remove duplicates of different regional channels and ensure that the other channels are only viewed using the strongest signal. It's a bit long winded, but if instructions would be useful to anyone I can provide them.

My aerial points toward the Oxford transmitter from OX10, and I was happily retuning as requested when we switched over last September. However, a couple of weeks ago I was prompted to retune again by a pop-up on the screen. I can't remember exact dates but this seemed to coincide with the Hannington switchover.
I now get two versions of lots of channels, eg: BBC1 South & BBC1 Oxford. But they are fairly intermittent. Should I remove the masthead amp on the loft mounted aerial?
