I live nearby in Gleadless and go to Eckington a lot. Most aerials in the town point to Belmont so I am sure this is why you get BBC1 Lincs. To be fair, lots of homes in North Derbyshire and Sheffield do - it may be possible to fit an aerial for Emley Moor but if you live down at the bottom of the hill this might not be possible. It will cost you too

Hi a question for Briantist, I live in Aspull wigan postcode wn2 1sz and can recive some stations from the emily more transmiiter, some are weak and some are very weak, will i be able to get them at full strength when emily more switches over fully to digital. it is strange because according to the website Emily more is not in line of sight of my postcode but yet i can receive stations from there.

Mike Roberts: Yes, you're likely to get the channels more reliably than you do now, though this is never going to be all that reliable with the Pennines in the way. The commercial multiplexes will be co-channel with those from Moel-Y-Parc so are unlikely to work.

but are the Pennines an obstacle, with the hight and strength of emily more, I mean if they were, you wouldn't get it at all over here would you? also i get nothing from moel-Y-parc as my Ariel is pointing the wrong way, done many a rescan on my box and only got my own local ones and about 15 channels from Emily more.

Mike Roberts: I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire Post Code YO42 2QG in a town at the foot of the Wolds and can receive Winter Hill, Bilsdale, Belmont, Waltham and of cause Emley Moor. Signal very weak from Winter Hill and Waltham though. Having problems with channels disappearing from Emley and having to manually retune again. This started to happen after the Belmont first stage switch over. Roll on Emley's switch over.

wow didnt think winter hill went that far out Beatamax_man. yeah its strange like i said no moel y parc at all here yet Emily more is ok, do you also get channels breaking up from Emily more to Beatmax-man.

Hi,
I completed a reset but no improvement. I have a recently installed high gain aerial on the roof. No problems with reception until 2-3 days ago.

mike Roberts: You often see claims that line-of-sight to the transmitter is required. It isn't. You definitely get the best signal levels if you do, and the least reflections, but you still get some signal (not necessarily enough to be usable) from refraction over the terrain.
Line-of-sight is also suggested because it is easy to compute possible signal levels. Most predictors - other than Digital UK's - use a simple free-space equation which can overestimate levels.
Aerials have a fairly wide acceptance angle - how wide depends on the aerial. It's likely that it has enough gain in Emley Moor's direction, not enough in Moel-Y-Parc's direction. Briantist is completely wrong to claim that a Yagi-type aerial receives as much signal from behind as in front, it is in fact far less (though not none).

Betamax_Man: It's likely that your box has an automatic retune function, and that it also stores the first version of the channels that it finds, rather than the strongest. I would turn off the automatic retune.
At switchover, the best approach is probably to unplug the aerial before doing a reset. You can then plug it in when the scan reaches about one-third of the way through, or leave it out until the end, accept that it hasn't found any channels, then manually tune on the appropriate frequencies. See above for the UHF channel numbers to use.

Since Belmont and Sheffield started DSO stage 1, my analogue reception from Emley Moor has become very poor. On all channels, there is a significant ghost image (not always the same channel) being picked up as well, as if one of the other transmitters is outputting on the same frequencies as Emley's analogue.
Obviously with analogue being turned off next month it's not much of an issue (digital reception has been slightly worse as well but usually ok). It's just a LOT easier to spot problems such as ghosting, pre-echo and co-channel interference on analogue rather than digital.
