That would make sense, the Winter Hill transmitter used the high channels and required minimum 1mv to clear the noise, the Philips tuners faired a little better but still not good.
Being close to Winter Hill we could usually get 2-3mv with a decent 10 element aerial but we still had areas in shadow.
WH started transmission in 1965, transistor tuners came out soon after 1966, perhaps late 65 and the difference was enormous to those shadow areas.
