AUTO TUNED AND DIGITALLY TUNED.fOUND .NO STATIONS BELONGING TO MUX 26. AFTER MANY TRIES, THE CHANNELS APPEARED.ALLOCATED THEN TO POSITIONS.OTHER MUXES ARE NORMAL.
CHAN 5 SEEMS NORMAL BUT BIDTV AND ASSOCIATE AT CH23 AND 24 SAY "NOT TUNED".AFTER A LONGISH PERIOD THE STAION APPEARS AND WORKS NORMALLY.

Sounds like you have a grouped aerial which is struggling on 23/26 (itv/ch5).

On the bravia, if you go to the set-up menu and then to the technical section theres a signal information screen. This will show if you are getting poor results on these 2 mux's

Its a common problem as the aerials round here are grouped for BBC1/2, ITV, CH4 which are at the top end of the scale (uhf 54-64) and the freeview mux's you want are down the bottom.

Yes, you need a wideband aerial for Waltham - it's a common problem.

a couple of spots in this map near Leicester that can get a poor reception and Bid tv on a low power output from transmittor

might be your aerial moved in the recent gales ?
