The symbol shows the location of the Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) transmitter which serves 1,550,000 homes. The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.
Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) mast?

Hi Brian
I have looked at the page referred and cannot see any reason for local analogue interference. I have played with the RF output and got no difference. I have changed *nothing* in my set-up. It had been fine for months since the engineering works, then it suddenly deteriorated last week. It varies throughout the day. At present (17.00) it is at 80% & is watchable. It seems to be worse in the evenings.

Very poor, if inadequate, Freeview reception during this last week in NG19 9HY. I have followed all relevant re-tune procedures but signal is almost non-existent on BBC 1/2 and barely improves on 3/4/5. Bet you'll tell me it's the weather and "inverse" wotsits!

I have exactly the same issues as Majory and also receiving from Emley Moor. I am approx 10 miles south-west of York. We moved into the house at the end of March and had the internal loft aerial replaced with a new one as the previous owners had used Sky and the old aerial was no good for Freeview. Everything was then perfect until around the middle of last week (or possibly even a little before that on some days?) and then all of the Mux 1 channels started playing up intermittently. Sometimes it has frequent pixellation, sometimes the channel is just unwatchable/blank. It was unwatchable around 7:30pm to 8pm this evening (Thursday) and has just got very bad again now around 11:15pm hence prompting me to post this. Seems a bit of a coincidence?

Shaun: Sounds quite typical for a loft based aerial. Move the aerial to the roof for stable reception.

Oh, I would have thought the loft aerial was fine. We had a loft mounted one for years at the old house and that gave us 100% perfect reception until Emley Moor's extensive engineering works last year (at which point we had to move it outside). The new one is very large and was professionally installed. The installer said his signal meter showed a "perfect" signal, and that did seem to be the case for the first couple of weeks. It doesn't seem to be the old cable to our lounge as at the same time he installed a completely new cable from the aerial to an upstairs bedroom. When MUX1 is playing up then both TVs suffer. We live in a very flat rural area and there is only one other house nearby so there are no obvious obstructions.
Signal strength/quality does seem to vary by the day. For example, as I mentioned in my post last night it was terrible yesterday evening yet this morning my wife is watching BBC1 on our Freeview TV and it's perfect. The reason that is more surprising is that we normally use a Freeview PVR rather than the TV itself and if there's any disruption the TV always has a much poorer signal (the digibox can often cope with it - although not last night). Is it possible there is any engineering work going on that isn't publicised?

Shaun: As I said loft aerials are unsuitable for stable Freeview reception. The problems you have are 100% as I would expect with a loft aerial.

<embarassed update> It turns out that my wife was watching the analogue BBC1 channel on the TV this morning. She'd tried the digibox already before I got up and the signal was still poor (although not quite as bad as last night apparently) and she wanted to watch "The Wedding" on BBC so analogue was her only option at the moment.

Hi Brian
Thanks for your help so far.
I have also spotted that Mux c is suddenly unwatchable (but not a problem as I don't watch any of those channels!), so it's not just Mux 1.
What you seem to be overlooking with both Shaun & I is that until last week, everything was fine & now it isn't. So saying that a loft-based aerial is no good for freeview doesn't help when it *was* OK (mine is on the roof by the way).
I have looked at the last link regarding induction interference and again can see no reason why this would be the case.
Do we know for certain that the signal strength hasn't been altered?
