Martin Epstein: Emley Moor should give a reasonable signal strength on most multiplexes, although COM4 is predicted to poor until early 2020 when it changes frequency. You would likely need a new wideband aerial to receive all the multiplexes broadcast by Emley Moor.

Martin Epstein: If you want to receive a different transmitter you will need to get your aerial realigned/replaced. Buying a Freeview HD receiver will get you more channels, but it won't receive a different transmitter with your existing aerial.
