From the range of comments above, it would seem that the main distribution suffered some kind of problem, only Arqiva would know as they operate the transmitters.
It's obvious that is has affected several regions.

To all having trouble with lost ITV programmes recently. Please see BBC - Newsbeat - ITV apologises for lost signal during X Factor live show where ITV admit to a 'technical problem'.

Ruth: You receive all the channels you will ever likely get from the Glenluce transmitter - the commercial channels are not obliged to broadcast from all of the transmitters, unlike the public service channels. If you want more channels, get Freesat.

Ruth: This is the effect of a free-market. What you have is thanks to the "Public Service" obligation of the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.

See here for an explanation of why the UK now has a two-tier system:

Londonderry (Northern Ireland) Freeview Light transmitter | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice

You're not likely to receive more channels from any other transmitter. Probably best to go with satellite (e.g. Freesat) if you wish to increase your number of channels.
