Alecbellamy: You may need to carry out a retune.
Spike is on logical channel number (LCN) 31, this having previously home to 5 USA which has moved to LCN21. If no retune has been carried out then 5 USA may still be on LCN31, meaning that Spike can't take up its native position, meaning your receiver has probably placed it in the 800s.

P.a. Tacey: Referring to the broadcaster's own website, nottstv.com , or contacting it might be the way to go.

JOE: No. COM7 and COM8 are likely to have a short lifespan though; expect things to be replanned around 2018.

Bobby: London Live transmits lower power than the other channels, and with a restricted radiation pattern (not the same in all directions). Without knowledge of your location it isn't possible to gauge whether this could be the cause.
Rescanning is a waste of time under such circumstances and can only ever result in a negative or neutral outcome, never a positive. This is because the TV will give you the best picture for the signal you are providing it with.

Ian Jones: I've already answered your question!! There is ongoing works at Mendip.
In such circumstances resetting and retuning is a waste of time and is only likely to result in a negative or neutral outcome, never a positive!

Matthew Jackson: The editorial regions of both BBC South West and ITV West Country (from Stockland Hill) don't cover Taunton.

You are, of course, free to tune to any transmitter that's available to you. If you wish to tune to Stockland Hill, assuming it's available at your location, then you may require a different aerial and will certainly require it reorientating in order to give the best possible reception.
