Marc:

Have you tried a manual retune of C28 in the last few days?
It seems there are no transmitter faults currently reported and the transmitter isn't currently listed for Planned Engineering.

Without a full postcode and some details about your aerial installation it's almost impossible to say, other than suggest some of the more obvious checks.
Your predicted reception of COM6 may not be quite as good as the other multiplexes and what may seem as minor issues can have a greater effect.

What type of aerial have you got and where is it located?
Does it look intact, still point in the correct direction with its rods (or squashed Xs) horizontal?
Is the downlead secure, not flapping in the wind, and look undamaged and not brittle?
Do you have a pre-amp that's either mounted on the mast if the aerial is external or immediately after the aerial if in a loft?
Do you have an amp/splitter to feed more than one TV outlet?
Where is the filter fitted?
Check all accessible coax connections for corrosion or water.
Have you altered/moved any equipment? Check any flyleads from wall sockets to TV.

Look in your TV Tuning section for Signal Strength and Quality (or Error) figures.
Post the Strength and Quality figures for each multiplex's UHF channel.

Having no SDL from Dtockland Hill and no D1 from Bridport is a disgrace

Andrew : D1 and SDL are commercial multiplexes, they have no obligation to cover any particular area or broadcast from any particular transmitter. Adding D1 to Bridport would only gain coverage over a small area. SDL are mainly focused on covering large/densely populated towns and cities, which Stockland Hill wouldn't add much to, as SDL is already broadcast from Exeter St Thomas and Beacon Hill, which cover the most populated areas that would be covered by Stockland Hill.
