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?

Thank you so much for all your help. I don't mind looking into getting my arial upgraded if there is a good chance it will resolve the problem.

I just didn't want t get ripped of by a company who will say it needs doing even though it doesn't!

We'll try it and see what happens anyway! Thank you.

Richard Caywood: It should be appreciated that when such as you have mentioned occurs its 99% of the time because the usually applying "non line-of-site reception" of the signal received is being obstructed or reflected in some way, like for example such as you can get from branches on trees with wet leaves blowing about in the wind, as there isn't anything on a transmitter mast that can vary with weather conditions.

The other point is, that even although the signals all come from the same mast they are at different height levels and so don't necessarily radiate in exactly the same horizontal plane, this making it whereby a signal from one level on the mast can be reflected by whatever, whereas from a different level it isn't, its total hit and miss!

The other factor that can affect signals being received is dense rain clouds, as these can have a reducing effect on the signal in roughly the same way as it does with Satellite equipment.

Wondering if someone can help. I have lost the BBC channels on freeview , they were working fine until earlier this week. As far as I know I am getting signal from Emley Moor , but now BBC channels show no signal. I can connect an indoor aerial and they work again , so suspect the issue is something to do with my outside aerial - but don't understand why it would suddenly stop picking this frequency (682 Mhz) up ? Anyone any ideas or suggestions ? (I tried a channel scan and ended up with only about 10 !! , so have redone it on indoor aerial and back over 100 now). Thanks.

@GEM you need to update your philips box to V7.21 to semi cure the stutter, it is well know as a pig of a box and i half wish i had never bought mine. Philips and Pace are no longer interested in it.

Does anyone know why ALL my channels are pixilating ? ( Emly Moor transmitter). I have factory reset and manually tuned to all MUX's but still pixilating - have also checked all connections. Brand new ariel and cabling last year.

Thanks

Mike
