I live in Sturminster Marshall Dorset. Your maps indicate that I should be receiving programmes from Winterbourne Stickland but my aerial, on the roof, is pointing to the IOW transmitter. Should I have my aerial realigned to receive a better picture

Robert Wood: The Winterbourne Stickland transmitter broadcasts only Public Service Broadcaster (PSB) channels whereas Rowridge on the IOW is a full-service transmitter (it broadcasts Commercial (COM) channels as well.
Rowridge broadcasts horizontally and vertically and has been doing so since April. The COM channels aren't as strong horizontally, so better reception of those may be gained by switching the aerial to vertical polarisation.
See this page for which service are carried on PSBs and which on COMs:
