Andrew:
If you put your full Post Code into this site you will get some blue boxes shown, much like those beneath other posts (but they don't always show!). The digitaluk box will tell you which is the best transmitter to use, which channels/frequencies the multiplexes are using and what type of aerial is needed plus the direction it should be aimed.
Looking at the channel information near the top of this page, I suggest you need either a log-periodic or a Group B yagi. The log-periodic will be best as that will not only cover the existing transmissions but also those in the foreseeable future. The receptor rods (not the main support boom) need to be mounted vertically for Carnmoney Hill and aimed at that transmitter. How many elements it needs depends on where you live in relation to the transmitter site, so again a full Post Code will help.
