Jay: It depends mostly on whether your aerial is group C/D and if your present signals are high enough to overcome the losses incurred.
For me, given that I get a reasonable signal for com7 on UHF 31, I will likely manage, although GIM and L-MAN don't look likely prospects.
The DUK Coverage Checker shows mostly excellent reception for my postcode but doesn't even list G-MAN.

The current Relocated Services list:
Relocated Services: North West
Format:
service_name relocated from ONID.TSID.SID (OldMultiplexName) to ONID.TSID.SID (NewMultiplexName)
TJC relocated from 233A.3005.3824 (SDN) to 233A.5040.5A20 (Arqiva A)
TJC relocated from 233A.3006.3824 (SDN) to 233A.5040.5A20 (Arqiva A)
TJC relocated from 233A.3007.3824 (SDN) to 233A.5040.5A20 (Arqiva A)
TJC relocated from 233A.3008.3824 (SDN) to 233A.5040.5A20 (Arqiva A)
TalkingPictures TV relocated from 233A.A000.A120 (COM7) to 233A.6040.6E40 (Arqiva B)
TalkingPictures TV relocated from 233A.A001.A120 (COM7) to 233A.6040.6E40 (Arqiva B)
Quest Red+1 relocated from 233A.6040.6D80 (Arqiva B) to 233A.A000.A1D0 (COM7)
Quest Red+1 relocated from 233A.6041.6D80 (Arqiva B) to 233A.A000.A1D0 (COM7)
That's four SDNs, two COM7s and two ArqBs.
COM7 does have target regions but SDN and Arqiva B are just GBR, suggesting only one of each of those multiplexes exists.
These are the Transport Streams that belong to Winter Hill:
COM7, ONID.TSID = 233A.A000, Target Regions = (GBR.England.North West)U(GBR.Isle of Man)
Arqiva B, ONID.TSID = 233A.6040, Target Regions = (GBR)
SDN, ONID.TSID = 233A.3006, Target Regions = (GBR)

StevensOnln1: Thanks. Maybe the four SDNs are for the Nations, in which case they should have target regions of (GBR.England), (GBR.Scotland), (GBR.Wales) and (GBR.Northern Ireland)
Incidentally, it's about time the entries for TJC were dropped. TJC relocated in September 2016!

Alan Womack: Firstly, you need a Freeview HD capable receiver. If you receive 101 BBC ONE HD, then you may be able to receive 095 FreeSports.
Looking at the digitaluk trade link below your question, there are two possible results from Rowridge.
Your 'Most Likely Transmitter' is Rowridge, horizontally polarised, which includes the COM8 Multiplex, which carries FreeSports.
Next in line is 'Alternative Transmitter', Rowridge VP, which is vertically polarised and does not transmit COM8.
If your aerial is mounted with its elements parallel to the ground (horizontal) you should be able to receive FreeSports; otherwise, probably not
Try a manual scan of UHF channel 37.

MikeP: Which transmitter would that be? There are seven possible transmitters listed for the given postcode.
This page is for the Rosneath (Argyll and Bute, Scotland) DAB transmitter.
If we look at the "Full Freeview on the Rosneath (Argyll and Bute, Scotland) transmitter" page then we find some recent Transmitter engineering posts.
Thursday, 14 December 2017
Transmitter engineering: ROSNEATH transmitter - DAB: BBC National DAB Radio Off Air from 08:05 on 12 Dec to 08:23 on 12 Dec. [BBC]
Why we have DAB reports on the Rosneath Freeview transmitter page, and no DAB reports on the Rosneath DAB transmitter page, is a mystery.
Anyway, if we assume Rosneath VP as the transmitter, the Coverage Checker shows there was an unspecified 'Reception change' on Dec 17.
