Hello

We are in Blubberhouses area and have had no signal at the moment and for most of today. As the signal is supposed to be on please explain why this is. All channels are off - even the shopping ones which are usually the last man standing.

I have checked that this is both our aerials (two houses) and both are in place and fully connected.

Com5/ArqA appears to no longer be transmitting or is to weak from Emley Moor?

Ben P: It's more likely down to interference due to the current weather conditions causing signals to travel further, with the effect that signals distant transmitters broadcasting on the same frequency which would not normally be receivable are interfering with the signal you are trying to receive from Emley Moor (there is currently a warning of possible interference for Emley).

Ben P:

In addition to StevensOnln1 information, to compound matters, Emley Moor is currently listed for Planned Engineering which may affect signals.

David O'Keeffe:

This sounds very much like interference from some equipment that's on a timer, maybe central heating or hot water, but first it might be wise to check in our TV tuning section that you are correctly tuned to Emley Moor's UHF channels as there's several transmitters that could be picked up in parts of your postcode.
If you happened to be tuned to a weaker signal, interference will be more prone to causing problems, whereas it may not with a normal signal.
Also check all your coax plugs and connections and that they are clean with no corrosion.

Emley's Multiplexes & UHF channels are as follows, in the order -
PSBs1/BBCA, PSB2/D3&4, PSB3/BBCB HD, COM4/SDN, COM5/ArqA, COM6/ArqB, COM7 HD, & Local
C47, C44, C41, C33, C36, C48, C55, & C39/C42. Whether you get satisfactory reception of COM7 or the Local Leeds/York multiplexes will depend on location.

Another possibility, have you got any new equipment or changed anything about since this started, such as a digital recorder? Do those times coincide with 15 minutes before a scheduled recording starts?

We have a Panasonic TX-L32D25B TV that switches itself off and then on again a few seconds later.
It's about 11 years old and basically still works fine. We only use Freeview.
This problem has occurred several times over the last few years. Our local TV repair shop once told me that it was something to do with an off-air component (maybe from the BBC) affecting the software on certain Panasonic models.
This has happened again recently............
After watching various programs on TV and from DVD recorder for over 3 hours it switched itself off after watching MORE4+1 (Channel 86) for only 10 minutes then worked ok via the DVD recorder for a further hour or more.
Online comments suggest it is some kind of overheating problem in the TV but I'm not convinced about that. As I see it the original suggestion by my local TV shop about some off-air component affecting the TV software (but not the DVD recorder) does make some sense especially when tuned to a non-mainstream channel. Something similar to this has happened in the past with an obscure channel but I can't remember which one.
Having come across your web-site I would like to ask......
Are there any off-air signals that could cause this problem? Any ideas to help could be useful. Maybe we need a new TV but that could create as many problems as it solves.
I can expand on this but there doesn't seem to be room here.
Many Thanks
