Hmm, looking at coverage maps, that's not a very good area. Which way is your aerial pointing - North, SouthEast or NorthNorthEast and are the aerial rods vertical or horizontal?
Is there an aerial amplifier/splitter serving more than one TV? If so is it turned on? Is there possibly a mast-head amplifier (that's an amplifier close to the aerial on the mast) and if so does it have a power unit near the TV and is it switched on?
To be able to look at the predicted reception at your location and which transmitter(s) you might be able to receive, we need a full postcode.

The aerial may even be pointing ~SW with the rods horizontal or vertical, there may be two transmitters in that direction. Check which way near neighbours' aerials are pointing.That postcode will be important.
It would also be useful for you to post which UHF channels each multiplex is tuned to, by looking in your TV tuning section, maybe in Manual Tuning or maybe Signal Test or something similar.
