Without a full postcode we'll not be able to offer definitive advice as we can't see what the About us | Freeview gives for the predicted reception at your location BUT
This does sound very much like a case of TOO MUCH signal, the lower UHF frequencies tend to propagate better and so you'll likely be getting them a bit stronger.
Are the gains on your masthead amp or distribution amp adjustable? If so, turn them down and see what it's like. Failing that, bypass the distribution amp and feed just one outlet and see what results you get. I'm assuming the masthead amp is not readily accessible and if it's not gain adjustable and bypassing the distribution amp solves the issue if it's not adjustable, then I'd suggest inserting an attenuator before the distribution amp.

Thanks for that post code RH15 0RH
recommended transmitter HEATHFIELD which is a non starter for our address lived here 40 years tried several times every one in our area on either satellite or Midhurst apparently aerial riggers agree
I do have a masthead amp with gain control and it is accessible unfortunately I am currently banned from doing much at present so will get my son to adjust down on his next visit
Thanks

Looking at your predicted reception I can see why you need the masthead for Midhurst. Out of curiosity does the checker give a worse prediction for Heathfield if you also put in your house number (no need to post it here). IIRC on some previous checks I made in your locale there's a few hills around!
Good luck with the adjustments.

As per many posts around this site, the listing are not up-to-date. There's 1100+ transmitters in the UK and the site owner has not kept up with all the changes. There are LCN on some Multiplex changes as well.
See Channel listings | Freeview although at time of posting it has not been updated for the Film4+1 and More4+1 changes on Nov.5th.
