Hi Brian
Thanks for your reply. When you sent your reply last night my service was also fine, with good signal strength. This morning it is still good but the signal is continually fluctuating from excellent to ok to good and so on. Obviously I am only really interested in a good picture, regardless of signal indicator. However, I am regularly unable to watch since the DSO because of picture breakup. It is so unreliable. Should the signal strength be fluctuating so much and at varying times of day?

Mike, I wonder if you are really tuned to Emley Moor and not another transmitter? I live near Goole and am able to pick up transmitters on the Isle of Mann, North West and Belmont (Lincs) as well as Emley Moor. My Humax recorder makes a real mess of trying to pick the correct signals as they are all very strong.
I had to resort to manual tuning and now all is well.

Just an update on my reception. I have fitted an aerial booster which appears to have stabilised the reception and sorted out the fluctuating signal on groups 1&2. Thanks to all of you who responded and for your ideas. Very much appreciated. Mike

Hi there,
I'm no longer receiving Dave, sky news etc all of which are on the COM5/ArqA Mux. Is this most likely due to a fault with the aerial either not in the right orientation or something else?
Thanks in advance.

Mark Fletcher. Thanks for your response, sorry I completely forgot that information would be useful. Postcode is LS2 8AR and I'm receiving from Emley Moor. The aerial is vertical polarisation. I was receiving those channels but not since the retune, however I wouldn't have thought that would be an issue.

@Dave. If your aerial is vertically polarised you will probably be using a relay not Emley Moor. Emley Moor is horizontally polarised.

dave - your postcode indicates that if you are on a relay transmitter it would most likely be Beecroft Hill; this is a Freeview Light transmitter and has never had these channels. You may have picked them up from a more distant mast but it seems if you want them you will have to switch to Emley Moor if it is possible in your location. I suggest looking around at neighbouring aerials and/or a word with a local engineer.

dave.LS2 8AR.Your postcode denotes Crown Plaza in or out of Leeds city centre,and as you stated the aerial is vertical polarisation which Steve of Leeds points out that you're receiving the Beecroft Hill relay transmissions which is a light relay broadcasting three mux's BBCA,D3+4,BBCB and a future fourth mux local some time in the near future.Are Crown Plaza low/high-rise flats/apartments,and if so is the aerial fitted externally (communal type possibly) or do you have an aerial for yourself either an external one or an internal set-top type.If the external antenna is communal,then you will need your landlords consent to have it realigned,if yours then you can if you wish realign it yourself to receive either Emley Moor or possibly Belmont (polarisation will have to be changed to horizontal to receive the before mentioned main transmitters above).Just one note,if you decide to pick up Belmont as a last resort,first two of their mux's ArqA on ch 53 and ArqB on ch 60 both currently on 4kw (both increasing to 100kw after Wed 23 Nov 2011),is for now out of reach until Tacolneston switches over fully on Wed 23 November 2011 due to frequencies 53 & 60 there currently clashing with each other.Secondly Belmont broadcasts BBC1 East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire news bulletins,as well as ITV1 Calendar (East) with more East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire matters.If you did decide to opt for Belmont as a last resort,best bet is to wait until after Wed 23 Nov 2011,when Tacolneston becomes all digital and the two currently understrength Belmont mux's ArqA & ArqB increases in power up to 25 times from that date onwards.
