Right, now were getting to the root of the problem. UHF ch 39 means you are picking up from The Wrekin and not Sutton Coldfield. To complicate matters there are two freeview transmitters at The Wrekin. One of these uses channels in the Group B range but does not broadcast Mux C or D. As you are getting very little on ch 55 I suspect you are actually picking up The Wrekin instead of Sutton Coldfield on the other Muxes as well.

If your aerial is pointed at Sutton Coldfield then you either need a more directive aerial or have it changed for one that points at The Wrekin. As your location says Telford, The Wrekin is probably the strongest signal at your location and the freeview equipment will always be locking onto it.
