43 is probably not showing due to it being lower power than the others, which are fairly low themselves.
Edit: By the way, looking at Storeton, I see that it has 3 extra Mux which are linked to the Moel-y-Parc transmitter in Wales, which might explain why you were getting the wrong region on auto-tuning.
They are on higher channel numbers, so should have been ignored, but maybe they were not. They are also on Horizontal Polarization compared with Vertical for the Winter Hill linked Mux which you have now tuned to.
Winter Hill is horizontally polarised.
In Liverpool we are half way between the WinterHill transmitter and Moel-y-parc and for me they are almost exactly 180 degrees to each other which means that rear-rejection on the aerial has to be pretty good to reject the Welsh one. If they were both transmitting the same things it might not matter but I prefer Channel 4 over S4C so I want the WH transmitter instead.
WH now transmits on these UHF frequency channels (not to be confused with TV program channels)
MUX1 - Channel 32
MUX2 - Channel 34
MUX3 - Channel 35
MUX4 - Channel 29
MUX4 - Channel 31
MUX5 - Channel 37
MUX7 - Channel 55 temporary
These are all in band A as far as aerials go whereas our area used to be in group C/D so all of our areials if fitted more than about 6 months ago are probably the wrong band and not very good at picking up the new channels.
The channel 55 one is still up in group C/D and contains BBC4HD and some others like Sony channels but is meant to be being removed soon.
You could try a manual tune with the above channels after doing a factory reset to get rid of all its previous tunings. If you dont get a good signal then you might need a new aerial for band/group A which should improve things a lot provided you get it fitted by someone who really knows what they are doing and uses a good aerial. I fitted one in our loft just before xmas with good results - bought it from here

where there is a host of information as well.
Hope this helps, and hope the link doesnt contravene site rules
