c: Do you have a signal booster connected? If so, remove it.
If it's picking up the wrong transmitter (which the fact that it is the wrong regional programming indicates that it is), then manual tuning is probably the best method.
Before trying manual tuning, try running the tuning through without the aerial connected. Then run it through with the aerial unplugged. Plug in the aerial when it gets to 65%. Once you've done this, if you are missing the BBC channels, then manually tune to Ch53 to add them.

Paul: When did you loose HD reception? Where abouts are you (a full post code will be helpful)? What transmitter is your aerial pointing to (if you don't know, then what direction is it pointing in?)?

jonathan ashenden: Out of interest, have you mounted your XB10A on the roof or in the loft?

ian: If your aerial is vertical, then it is likely you are right about it being on Nottingham (Kimberley).

Shaun Southall: Mux A (SDN) does not go to full power until next year.
I've seen comments made on here by professionals about new houses tending to have rooves that can reduce signal strength.
Could you not have had the aerial fitted outside?

colin: One possibility is that your TV has picked up the signal from Fenham (which would explain the poor analogue picture). This might be because it is at the low end of the TV frequency band and Pontop Pike is at the high end.
Run the auto-tune scan for channels with the aerial unplugged and plug the aerial in when it gets to 50%. That will have it unplugged when it's scanning Fenham's frequencies but connected when it's looking for Pontop.

Stuart O.: Ferryside was the first transmitter in the UK to switch in 2005:
BBC NEWS | Wales | South West Wales | Two towns pioneer digital TV
Perhaps carrying SDN has come about as a result of that and it wouldn't have got it otherwise (its ERP is only 25W).

Maria: You're not alone!
Many people have been unable to receive the Arqiva B multiplex (signal) which carries Yesterday, Film4 and others. This is because it is at lower transmission power and will remain so until 27th June.

IAN KEDDLE: The answer to your question is no and is explained in the link I provided.
