How to Watch: U&Eden


Below is a list of all the television and radio channels that you can watch in the UK using one of the free services: DAB (for radio), Freeview, Sky No Card - Sky without a viewing card (Freesat from Sky (or fSfS)) and Freesat.. Where a channel can be watched for free, the channel number is listed below. In addition, if you can watch (or listen) immediately online, press the button in the "web" column.

As some channels are exclusive to one service alone, you may need to get receive more than one service to get all the channels you want. The coverage for Freeview differs too - those channels not provided by the public service "Freeview Light" transmitters the current coverage shown thus (54%), taken from Connected Nations Report 2017: Data analysis'

From Wikipedia: The channel is available on cable, IPTV, Freeview and some satellite platforms. The channel took the name Dave in October 2007, but it had been on air under various identities and formats since October 1998. The channel was promoted as being an edgier alternative to UK Gold like that channel, the output was mainly comedy from the BBC with some shows produced inhouse. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon read more about U&Eden on wikipedia (summary by Clipped).

Apologies but I've not had any response from Freeview or UKTV so I'm grabbing at straws.
Eden is almost unwatchable in my post code, as is every other channel on the same multiplex. IThe effect is weird, it's almost as if the transmission is cutting out for a few seconds at a time with the signal level dropping to zero.

If anyone has any ideas as to what is happening I would appreciate their input.
My post code is WD6 and the affected channels are all on UHF ch30 (546MHz). It's visible on every receiver connected to our system.The aerial and feeders have been completely replaced fairly recently, including filters for both 4 and 5G interference.

Hmm. Interesting. Unfortunately without the Full postcode, it's impossible to check the predicted signal strength both from Crystal Palace or even maybe from other transmitters that use C30 (which of course can be a lot worse in certain weather conditions) the latter being extremely difficult to assess in any case.
This is the BBCB HD multiplex, so although you've said all channels on the multiplex are affected I'm surprised that you haven't mentioned that it's the HD channels.
Because of the transmission mode used for the T2 multiplex, it's slightly more vulnerable to reception/interference problems.
You haven't said how long this problem has been occurring and whether it's continuous or periodic.

As you've said every set connected to your system has the problem, you obviously have some sort of distribution system and the assumption is that it has some sort of amplifier.
So there are some things to point out.

Firstly, as you've had the aerial recently replaced, I hope it was a Group K, to reduce the strength or possibility of picking up 5G or 4G interference from any new/updated mobile masts near you using frequencies just above C48.

Secondly, I hope that the filters that you have are fitted BEFORE any amplification, otherwise it's rather defeating the objective.

Thirdly, Signal strength & Signal quality %. How do those figures for C30 compare to the other mux channels? The Quality should be 100% at all times with "normal" reception. Unfortunately, Crystal Palace is again having Planned Engineering and so reception might be affected but that can depend on factors like local buildings, trees and terrain in your fairly immediate locale. Not all multiplexes will necessarily be affected by these things which can be quite frequency dependant.

Finally, I hope the gain of your distribution system isn't so high as to be giving 100% Signal Strength across all the channels which can mean you have too much gain that can cause overload and lead to reductions in the Quality % with minor changes in signal.
If you have that situation, reduce the gain below 100%. Having 100% Quality is the important thing.
With some of the high pressure weather systems recently, there's also been the situation where interfering signals from a distant transmitter could be received, again not all multiplexes' will be affected as it will depend on the other channels being used by such a distant transmitter and the propagation can be frequency dependant in any event.

HTH. Post back with more details if you have any queries or need further information.
