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?

Re. KJM's suggestion of checking analogue BBC2 (C51), I've just done that - it is quite poor on my TV, a bit ghosty and snowy. BBC1 (C44) is the best and is comparable to Channel 4 (C41). ITV (C47) is not as good as BBC1+C4, but not as bad as BBC2. Channel Five (C37) is also very good. Does that give any further clues? Freeview BBC1 is very bad as I'm writing this but unlike Majory my Mux C channels (well, just tried Dave and DaveJaVu) are okay at the moment. Hadn't tried them for a few weeks.

Can anyone give any suggestions as to how we can get back our full channel range or are we going to have to wait for digital switchover to happen????? We have re-scanned the box but each time we loose more than we gain. We have 100% signal strength but poor signal quality and it's getting worse

Joanna, only thing I can suggest is check all your connections, including your aerial.
Not had any trouble receiving signals from Emley Moor here in my location in Bramham,3 miles south of Wetherby. All multiplexes ok.

Since yesterday, been getting no end of trouble with C43 (Mux A) which carries channels such as Quest and Challenge. Not only are they unwatchable due to pixellation and freezing, but my Freeview TV keeps putting these channels in the 800s instead of their normal place. A different Freeview box just seems to ignore these channels completely, even with manual tuning!

One thing I have noticed is that the C43 is no longer reporting the network as 'Yorkshire' - the field is just blank. This is probably what is causing my TV to place the channels in the 800s instead of with the other 'Yorkshire' channels. Have they done any changes to the transmitter that might cause this?

I live in Huddersfield and have also experienced a sudden deterioration in freeview signal quality at the back end of last week (29th April, 2011.) All was absolutely fine and then suddenly both analogue and digital freeview signals have deteriorated dramatically. I have tried all solutions that I can at my house locally and can't help but feel that the issue somehow lies with Emley Moor transmitter. Can't find out any information, though and don't know where to go next. Seems as though many are experiencing the same issue and feels like too much of a coincidence.

Hi
I would like to know why for the last few weeks we cannot get any tv reception on our new tv and the old analogue tv before 11.30 am.After that they both work fine for the rest of the day/night. We have had a new ariel fitted in December on the chimney. We receive our signal from Emley Moor.
Your help would be appreciated before calling out yet another engineer.
