All my devices are tuned to Winterhill tx. Looking at the above list of Uhf channel numbers seems to bear no relation to the received channels. Mine starts as ch 31 37 49 55 57 58 etc. Are you sure you have the correct Winter Hill channels? They look a bit like moel-y-parc. e.g I have no 34 35 29

John J:
It appears that the listing above is far from accurate. Some transmitter pages are currently giving the final 2020 channels as current, but this one is all over the place. At present, the best place to get correct channel information is Digital UK - Coverage checker and put in your postcode to list available transmitters.
Current channels are BBCA 50, D3&4 59, BBCB 54-, SDN(COM4) 58, ARQA(COM5) 49, ARQB(COM6) 37, COM7 55, COM8 31, various Local muxes on 56, 21, 40 (if you are close enough to the transmitter).
Retune events are due in the Q4 2019 for one local mux UHF56 to UHF24, others events are in Q1 2020 BBCA to UHF32 & COM8 to UHF56, and in Q2 2020 D3&4 to UHF34, BBCB to UHF35, SDN(COM4) to UHF29 & ARQA to UHF31.
So the final UHF channels in 2020 will be 32, 34, 35, 29, 31, 37, 55, 56 and local muxes 24, 21, 40. If you don't have a wideband or T band aerial, if you aren't getting satisfactory reception on the lower UHF channels you may need to change it.

Nev Jack: the high pressure new year week certainly caused some havoc with my TV retuning itself nearly every day to either the Wrekin or moel y parc for BBC and ITV where it could as some channels just too weak...the winter hill "rejects" ended up in the 800s section on my tv. luckily the HD channels stayed ensitu...seems to have settled down now, although there is a new high pressure predicted for this weds....
