Putting your postcode into About us | Freeview shows that you should normally get very good reception from Midhurst.
There is Planned Engineering at Midhurst this week with "Possible weak signal". I guess this is in preparation for the Retune event on the 16th Oct. when the PSB3/BBCB (HD) mux moves from C58 to C36, the PSB2/D3&4 (ITV/C4) mux moves from C54 to C35, and the COM5/ArqA mux moves from C59 to C34.
