Midhurst (West Sussex, England) Full Freeview transmitter

Have just bought new Panasonic Smart TV and installed it yesterday evening and now have poor reception on COM6/ARQ B channels, which were not there in the afternoon on its stand-alone freeview box predecessor. I have seen a message in a blog elsewhere that states: "From switchover until October (exact date not yet published), the sixth multiplex broadcast from Midhurst will transmit at low power. Once all neighbouring areas have completed switchover, the process of clearing frequencies to be used by 4G mobile internet will begin. The frequency being used by Midhurst to transmit this multiplex will become free for Midhurst to start transmitting at final power levels. Until then, services on this multiplex (called "Arqiva B" or "Com 6"), which include FIlm 4, ITV 4, Al Jazeera, QVC Beauty, Viva and 4 Music among others, will be more difficult to receive." Is this true and therefore the cause of my problem?
