Depending on the tuner you're using you can usually leave most other settings as 'auto'. I believe mine needed Delivery System set to DVB/T2 and Bandwidth to 8MHz then TVH picked up the rest.
The transmitter data included with TVH is sourced from https://github.com/tvheadend/dtv-scan-tables - it would be helpful to feed back any corrections to help other users.

Note that ukfree.tv is not always accurate/up-to-date. I use Tacolneston transmitter, for example and ukfree lists COM7 & COM8 as 746 MHz and 754 MHz but they're actually on 746 MHz and 674 MHz. It's better to use utilities like w_scan and dvbv5-scan but even so some manual playing about in Configuration/DVB Inputs/Muxes may be necessary to get all the channels. The other reference to use are Ofcom's spreadsheets from https://www.ofcom.org.uk/spectrum/information/transmitter-frequency
The problem is that the data keeps going out of date because they move channels around the spectrum from time to time, so the on-air transmitted data and Ofcom's data are better.

Does anyone have, or is able to point me in the direction of up to date information for the Hannington transmitter muxes ?
I'm missing a few channels using the built in settings.It would appear that the COM7 & COM8 muxes are missing, and although I have the frequencies (746MHz and 754MHz respectively), I'm not sure of the other values required to manually set up the mux in TVH.
Could it be the some as to what happened to Crystal Palace, COM 7 and COM 8 are now on channels 55 and 56 respectively, a Group A aerial will not give satisfactory reception of those,
so a wideband aerial is now required. A Group A aerial is fine for channels 21 to 35 but not above that.
If you go to http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragechecker/main/index/dummy/NA/yes and put in your full post code and house number,
you will be shown the current arrangements as well as the future plans for further changes. If you have a wideband aerial fitted
now it will be suitable for all changes foreseen in the future.
Pleas let us know the outcome of your findings.
