I doubt you'll get a direct reply from Brian, he rarely seems to post on these pages these days.
If you are referring to True Entertainment and Sony Movie Channel+1, Sony have moved these and other True TV channels to local multiplexes. See the posts on the previous page here on July 18th. You'll need to check if you can receive the local multiplex from Belmont.
See also True Entertainment | free and easy for more information about the changes.

According to the Digital UK Coverage Checker you should be getting excellent reception from Belmont transmitter, see About us | Freeview You could even get good reception of Emley Moor signals!
So it is worth checking all your aerial connections and cables. If there are any coaxial plugs/sockets then unplug those and refit them. Check that your aerial has not moved in the recent winds and that the cables are undamaged.

Will the changes to the Belmont transmitter on the 23 October 2019 mean fewer or more tv stations or the same?

The same multiplexes will be broadcast from Belmont after each of the retune events, one as you know on the 23rd, and two more in Q1 2020 dates TBA.
How reception will change (with each) will depend upon your aerial and your postcode. If you are receiving all multiplexes satisfactorily at present, if you have a wideband aerial, then it will be down to your postcode because some of the COM multiplexes (5/6/7/8) are moving and they will be to channels that are used by other transmitters and potential interference from them could affect reception. Whilst that's the case already with the other multiplexes that aren't moving, you already know what reception you are getting with them.
If you provide a full postcode we can advise, or put your postcode into the DigitalUK checker About us | Freeview to see predicted reception at the various dates.

Meant to add, the change on the 23rd is COM8 moving to UHF56 and becoming an SFN (Single Frequency Network) so you may find the received single is not quite as good as before. COM7 is moving to temporary channel UHF35. At the first retune in Q1 next year COM7 moves to UHF55 and will be a SFN. COM5/ArqA moves to UHF23. In the 2nd retune in Q1 COM6/ArqB moves to UHF26.

Well despite your distance from Belmont (92km) and some small changes in power on the COM multiplexes, you are still predicted to have very good reception of all. Whilst you are much closer (2km) to Sheffield which is also predicted to give very good reception, it looks as though that one stops transmitting COMs 7&8 in Q1 2020.
As long as you have a Group T/ Wideband aerial you should have no problems with reception see the covergae checker About us | Freeview
After the temporary COMs 7&8 multiplexes close altogether (sometime between mid 2020 and 2022 - definitive dates have not yet been announced AFAIK) then only a Group A aerial is needed (but of course a Group T /Wideband should do).
