E Hardy: With your aerial pointing to Millom Park you can expect to receive the full complement of Freeview channels sometime never.

I had a look on StreetView and some houses have Winter Hill-facing aerials which might be an indicator that you may be able to do the same and hopefully receive all channels. The difficulty comes from the fact that the higher ground on which the town sits is in your way.

For this reason, if you do have a Winter Hill aerial installed then I suggest you retain the Millom Park one that is, due to being able to see Winter Hill you may find reception isn't perfect.
