In fact it would seem that the digital multiplexes from the Midhurst transmitter should all be receivable on a 'normal' C/D group horizontally polarised UHF TV antenna..... So all you should need is a good quality, well-installed C/D group aerial; there should be no need to have to replace it with a W group aerial.

Try http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/coverage.html and enter your postcode where indicated. That should give you an indication of which channels you should be able to receive at your location. E.g, from Midhurst, all these Freeview channels should be available:
