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?

Andy: You're about a mile from Beecroft Hill transmitter. If you're aerial is directed to Emley Moor, your receiver could have tuned to Beecroft Hill (for BBC & ITV/C4/C5) which explains why reception can be poor.

Beecroft doesn't carry the three commercial muxes, so if you get them satisfactorily, then they will be coming from Emily (as only it broadcasts them where you are).

Thanks Brain and Dave for those answers. I was told that the aerial would point to Emley moor if I wanted the full service. But if I was't bothered I'd be pointed to Beecroft.

When it was analogue everyone would of been pointed to beecroft. But looking at all the other aerials different installers are pointing them in different directions.
My neighbour has theirs pointing to north/east which can only be Bilsdale far as I can tell, but their signal gets screwed up when a bus goes past.

My brother who lives down the street (LS12 5JD) has his pointing to Emley Moor and gets a brilliant signal at all times (asked him last night).

Just seems strange for our house.

Andy Leeds.Your neighbour whose aerial i presume is horizontally polarised which i assume is directed towards Bilsdale (BBC1 North East & Cumbria,ITV1 Tyne-Tees) will have to wait until Wednesday 12 September 2012 (DSO1) and 2 weeks later (DSO2) on Wed 26 Sept 2012 to get much improved high powered digital signals from Bilsdale as at present it is broadcasting both analogue and much lower powered pre digital signals,hence as you implied their reception gets screwed when a bus,etc,goes past.Incidentally when DSO comes to Bilsdale by September 2012,your locality could become an overlapped Emley Moor/Bilsdale (Belmont possibly ?) area,with potential dis/advantages,the advantages being choices of either diplexing a group K aerial (Yagi 18K or XB16K antenna) towards Bilsdale and a group W wideband aerial (probably in your location a Log Periodic will do) towards Emley Moor.The disadvantage possibly if Belmont can be received in your locality being a three main transmitter area overlap.In the case of Belmont which is officially a group W wideband mast,a Yagi or X beam is required to pick up stable Belmont signals in Leeds LS12 area,but most of Belmont's mux's (except for 2 mux's in group C/D band) are on group A frequencies.One option in this scenario would be diplexing a group A aerial with either a group E (recommended),or as a last resort with a group W wideband aerial as their antennas have a poor response on group A frequencies (low signal gains on the lowest frequencies being commonplace).

Am writing on behalf of my next door neighbour who is an old lady. I retuned her TV after the changeover and now she doesn't semm to be able to get Emley Moor transmissions. All her BBC and ITV channels come from East Midlands. She particularly wants BBC 1 from Emley Moor so she can watch Look North. Any advice?

What do you get on your TV?
Are both aerials on the same transmitter?

G. H. Knight: I would suggest that the lady's receiver is picking up Waltham (BBC from there is on C61).

Perhaps the Emley Moor channels have been put in the 800s.

Does the auto-tuning facility give you the UHF channel numbers? If so, Emley is from 41 to 51 and Waltham is 29 (for ITV3 etc) 54 to 61 (for the rest).

If it does give you UHF channel numbers during its scan, then unplug the aerial, start it scanning, plug the aerial in just before 41 and unplug after it's found 52. Once it's completed its scan, plug the aerial back in again.
