I can't seem to receive C57, C55, C56 in Bury St Edmunds. Any ideas why this could be?

MikeP: My poste code is IP32 6FJ which may not come up as its new. The nearest postcode is IP32 6NT or coordinates 52.269539, 0.698076. I just can't seem to get Multiplex COM7 or C55 from Tacolneston.

MikeP: Thank you for replying Mike.
Yes, I do get 101 to 106.
My aerial is wideband (SLx 27884K4 4G Filtered 48 Element Aerial).
I'm aware Tacolneston is C/D.
In the manual tuning page I see the following channels
40, 41, 45, 29, 39, 46 and 44.

I am suprised to see some channels that I did not expect to see which might mean I'm not tuned on to Tacolneston. But that is strange because I'm pointing towards it and there aren't any other transmitters in that general direction. Secondly, all channels for Tacolneston say Hmax except for C55 and C56 which are H -5.6dB and H -6.2dB. I'v tried to slightly tilt my aerial to no avail.

hardy: Thank you for replying hardy. I'm pretty sure the postcode is alright and I've checked the trouble areas around Bury on the map, it seems we ought to be clear. I will double check the connections.
The aerial is fitted in the loft and the house is fairly tall with no obvious taller obstructions outside.
How would I check if I'm tuned to Tacolneston? I'm getting a few channels that are not listed on the Tacolneston channel list. The aerial is pointing in that direction and there doesn't seem to be any other transmitters from that direction. Could the coax cable act like an aerial?!...

I get 2 lights on the DVB-T Signal Strength Finder.
