David Mansell: There are plenty other transmitters in the area namely Cornholme, Walsden.
If you decide to re align your aerial, to another transmitter, according to Digital UK and this website, Cornholme is a viable option that should give you virtually perfect signal strength. Cornholme receives its signals direct from Emley Moor and hasn't had the same amount of 'downtime' that Todmorden transmitter has had. Cornholme transmitter is definitely an option.Walsden is also an option, you will get a fine signal but probably won't make any difference because Walsden simply relays Todmorden.According to Digital UK, it shows that you will get a signal on nearly all MUX's, average signal 50-60%. Maybe you could try that transmitter (even though its through the Pennines with no line of sight!) and see what happens? A very high gain aerial may do the trick ... then again if you were going to do that I'd say Freesat is the most simpler option

There aren't "plenty" of other transmitters : there's Cornholme, and that's it. Walsden is not a viable option.
