Thomas - the TV is definitely saying that signal quality is very poor on ITv/C4 - I have tried an attenuator as I thought this might be the problem - it just made it worse!!
BBC has 80% strength and 100% quality and the picture is perfect. ITV/C4 strength is about 70% but quality is barely 20%. I would have thought that if there was a problem with the equipment I wouldn't get such a good signal from the BBC.
Looking at the various MUX above, it does say that 2 and A are low and very low but it seems outrageous that I can't get a good enough signal so close to the mast!!!

We live about 1 mile from the Emley Moor transmitter (and have a line of sight view of it from our window!) - we live in a new house and have a brand new ariel with an integrated splitter/amplifier.
Signal strength/quality on the BBC channels is perfect, but signal quality on the ITV channels and Channel 4 etc generally very poor (strength is ok) with a tendency for the picture to break up and become blocky. Its the same on all TVs running off the splitter. Sometimes it is watchable but more often than not it isn't.
Any thoughts? Pretty frustrating being so close to the transmitter with a brand new setup, getting a perfect signal on some channels and an unusable one on others!
