Stockland Hill (Devon, England) transmitter

I live in Bristol Road on the northern side of Sherborne . Although the Mendip transmitter map shows my location as being in it's area, it appears that the Stockland Hill transmitter is better. Why? I have now bought a high gain class A arial and find that it works fine roughly lined up - your site shows it has a bearing of 248 degrees from me - is that bearing to true north or is it a compass bearing - if it is a true north bearing what correction should I make to compass bearing?

Thanks for that Brian - does that mean that I have to add the declination to the 248 degrees, or subtract it - or is the 248 degrees a magnetic bearing that does not need correcting? Sorry if I seem a bit dense but, at least in this respect I am denser than a particularly dense thing.

Is it likely that we will get the missing Freeview HD channels any time soon? And, if not, why not? Is there some intractable technical obstacle or are we just undeserving?
