We have a freeview rack card at work in Bradford called a Lan-Caster, made by MediaStar.
It appears that of the Muxes we can see, we now see Belmont PSB1, 2 & 4 at a higher SNR (18-19dB) than Muxes PSB1, 2, COm5 & Com6 from Emley Moor (14-16dB)
The Lanstar documentation says an SNR of less than 16dB will cause blocking but the reality is that the outputs are unwatchable. The media guys blame the aerial guys and they may well be right, or perhaps the card has gone U/S.
Curiously, the retune on the 9th gave signals post 20dB but on the 21st Emley Moor muxes had dropped.

Re the filter that may be needed when the 4G networks start using the 800MHz frequencies in 2013 I thought it had yet to be decided if they would be supplied free or if consumers will have to buy one - at least that is what I was told at a meeting at Ofcom only a week ago. Do you have some extra information, Brian T, that leads you to think they will be free? Admittedly they are not going to cost much.

Hi,I live in Belper,Derbyshire and until the recent switchovers i didn,t get any freeview at
all now I find myself able to pick up 13 different multiplexes from 3 different transmitters but still can,t get any ITV4 etc,but to a daft lad like me it seems that from the wattage levels from the transmitters I should be able to,any idea why I can,t?

Briantist:
A very useful thread, thank you for that.
The Lan-Caster can only extract one Mux at a time (even though it can stream up to eleven channels out to the Network) but I will check the other ones out & see if they are better.
The AV man in today said something about the freeview feed being muxed in to the downfeeds from a quad LNB satellite dish that feeds two sky+ boxes. I will explore that in more detail but it sounds like a variable attenuator might possibly resolve it if the input stages are swamped.

Hi,
Thorpe Hesley which is west of Rotherham and near J35 of M1. We are at the bottom of a 3 hills and use a roof mounted aerial.
No issues prior to change over, however since changeover we are getting Mux 1 on Channel 22 (Belmont?) at a marginal signal level which is over-riding the stronger Mux1 on Channel 47 from Emley Moor on one of our receivers - seems to store in order scanned - not strongest signal.
All signals from Emley are excellent...
Aerial is Band B, horizontal and fitted to a 6ft pole on the chimney. - for past 25 years.
Signals are Fed through a 6 channel amp and multiplexed with an FM signal, to 3 TVs and an FM tuner.
Any simple (and low cost) solution?

David Timm: An easy way to get over the problem is to first of all remove the aerial and carry out a re-scan without it, this for purposes of blanking out anything stored, then BEFORE re-connecting the the aerial carry out another re-tune whilst at the same time watching the channels rise in the progress bar, and when you see them passing Ch35 re-connect the aerial and that will allow BBC1 etc, etc, to load from Emley Moor.
Should you still have a problem after doing this then you might have to manually tune the channels required.
