The reason it tunes to Bilsdale is that that is the first transmitter signals seen by the TV as they are in Group A and is probably the strongest signals received as it is just 36km away. Emley Moor is Group B and is 64 km away. Where does you aerial point towards? Bilsdale is at a bearing of 346 degrees and Emley Moor at 221 degrees. If the aerial is not pointing at Emley Moor and is a Group A type then you will need an aerial installer to change the aerial and aim the new wideband (preferably a log-periodic) aerial to Emley Moor.
Does your TV have a manual tuning facility? It will be mentioned in the User Manual if it is available. If so, check on this website for the channels/frequencies used by Emley Moor and tune that TV using those figures.
(It is often suggested that people run the automatic tuning system with the aerial lead disconnected for the first part of the scan, but in this instance it will be difficult to ensure you get all the available multiplexes tuned in correctly.)

This website could not directly help but you might be better contacting the show's original broadcaster. Or perhaps trying http://www.ukgameshows.co…_UK, Endurance UK (Outro) - YouTube or perhaps http://endurancegb.co.uk/main. There may be other website with suitable offerings.

What you say is perfectly valid and correct, but ... When I tried a 3.5 jack fed Bluetooth transmitter in the headphone socket it cut off all other sound outputs! (I understand that is very common and has been so for many years.) That's fine if only one person wants to listen but if there are others they will complain. One common usage is for helping those with hearing impairment, like me, so they can listen at a volume that is comfortable for them without blasting the ears of others in the room. But they all may well want to listen to the programme sound. I've resorted to an 'optical splitter', as suggested by yourself, so the sound bar still gets the data it needs and others can have the volume as they find comfortable yet I can listen via my Bluetooth headset/earphone at a volume that suits me without anyone else being upset.
Hope that helps Bob Loader as well.

The proximity of trees only some 50 yards away does suggest that reception can be affected by them. My house has trees some 50 yards away and if I try to use the original aerial that 'looks through' those trees I get poor SD reception and no HD reception. So I use an aerial mounted the other side of the house making it further away from the trees and doesn't 'look through' them but rather looks to one side of them. Now I get excellent HD as well as SD reception.
Such problems existed in the analogue TV days (I was a senior Field Service Engineer in those days so met such problems fairly often) but the effect on reception was less dramatic than it is with digital.
I'd suggest getting a good aerial contractor to have a look at your aerial system and consider moving it to a place where it does not 'look through' your nearby trees.

To help us offer anything meaningful we a few more details. What type of Sky box do you have and is it connected properly to your dish. An idea of your location might help as weill, this in the form of a postcode (or that of a nearby shop or public building).
Do the lights on your box show correctly? What is shown on the TV screen?

As you appear to be on a communal aerial system, have you asked whether other people in the block are experiencing the same problems?
If they are, then it is likely that an aerial problem is the cause. If they are not then it is likely that your equipment may have a problem. In that case it is worth changing the aerial cables connecting your equipment to the aerial socket and between each item.
It is also possible that you may have too much signal. Does your TV have a settings page that allows you to check the signal strength and quality? If so, make sure the signal strength on the affected services is between 60% and 80% as any higher will probably cause the symptoms you describe. If you do have too much signal, an inexpensive attenuator will help. What strength of attenuator may be needed epends on just how strong the signal(s) is.
