Unfortunately the site owner has not had the time to update all the changes resulting from the 700MHz Clearance program never mind a number of frequent changes made by Broadcasters moving channels around, or closing them down renaming them etc.
For what is generally an up-to-date list of the channels' LCNs in the EPG and which Multiplex they are on, see -

Will, the site owner has been made aware, but as yet he's not been able to do anything about it.

The site owner is the only one that can update the information. All we can do on the relevant transmitter page, for anyone reading or having a query, is point out that the information hasn't been updated and what the correct information is.

You don't need to, he knows, he hasn't had time to do all the updates necessary with the 700MHz clearance program along with the all too frequent channel changes when broadcasters move their channels to different multiplexes, rename them or change them. When he'll do the updates is anyone's guess, there are 1100+ transmitters in the UK & the Whitehawk Hill page is not the only one that needs updating.
The best place to get up-to-date information (generally) is the Freeview site Freeview | All your favourite TV shows, all in one place and all for free

A reminder that there is a major retune event for the Waltham Transmitter on the 4th March. The transmitter will likely go off-air shortly after midnight and the multiplexes PSBs1-3, COMs 6 & 7, and a Local mux move to new UHF channels. The transmitter may be off-air for several hours, but they are usually back by 6.00am.
The new channels are as follows, in the order PSBs1-3; COMs 4-8; Local -
C32, C34, C35; C29, C37, C31; C55, C56; C41. COM7 power changes to 11.8kW, and Local power changes to 2kW.
People will need to retune and a Group T/Wideband aerial may be needed for satisfactory reception of all multiplexes from Waltham.
Anyone having problems receiving the PSB & COMs4-6 multiplexes may need a new aerial. Providing they don't have Cable or Satellite, they can get help for a free replacement aerial from Freeview by ringing 0808-100-0288 (a free call, but there might be long wait times on the phone!).
There are also a number of the Waltham relays also changing to new UHF channels.
