For a channel 50 replacement, try ch 55 from Dover. I get that here at usable strength 5mi south of Colchester, although the odd thing is that nothing about ch50 has changed yet. Perhaps there is an inversion in progress.

Were you able to get any of these channels before the start of Digital Switchover?
The multiplex that carries ITV3 (SDN) has had a modest power increase and a change of channel, which probably explains why you are now getting it on Channel 49.
ITV1 is on another multiplex (PSB1) and it is soon to have a major power increase and a change in channel to ch 41. I suggest you wait until July 20 when you should rescan your box

PSB2 carries the main commercial stations such as ITV1, Channel5, More4, ITV2, Channel4 , etc
There is going to be a local relay transmitter in Clacton after July 20 to carry PSB1 (BBC ) and PSB2 (major commercial stations)

The only mux which is due for a power increase in 2 weeks time is Mux2 on channels 68 and 56 moving to 41. I have never been able to receive this mux 3 miles east from Tiptree.
The propagation predictor is quite pessimistic. It predicts poor quality for Mux 1, but in reality this mux is quite excellent, and so it should be at 100kW power.
