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?

Choddy, just a thought as I pass through Bolsover frequently and know it is an excellent reception area for Emley and Waltham. It may be you have too much signal since DSO, either via Emley, or from Belmont which had it's power boosted at the end of November. Is your son's aerial smaller than yours? Is your aerial boosted (shouldn't be)? Briantist's link should help you

I live in Gleadless, Sheffield, by the way, not Holmfirth! It changed my location when I was trying out some reception queries for others and forgot to return my location to it's proper place!!

Emley Moor transmitter. Aerial in loft.
Excellent reception on all channels except for the BBC. Reasonable signal strength, but picture break up and signal loss. Strangely, some of the OK channels showing quite poor signal strength.

John Proctor: Have you confirmed that it is tuned to Emley Moor (Ch47 for BBC) as there are several transmitters that might be received at your location?

If it is tuned to Emley, then you might have too higher signal level going into your tuner:

Hello Dave,
Living near Emley in not so sunny Huddersfield, I'm fairly certain the aerial is aimed in the right direction, so not sure about picking up other transmitters.
Slight movement of the aerial changes things somewhat, so that BBC becomes reliable, but then at the expense of several other channels.
What can be the effect of "Too higher signal level". Don't have a tuner box, but a Freeview equipped TV.

John Proctor: Follow the link I posted for information on too higher signal level. It might be worth trying a variable attentuator.

The direction that the aerial is pointing in does not necessarily have bearing on which signals a tuner decides to go with.

Even if it turns out that it isn't too higher signal level that is causing the break-up and the TV to report low signal (which can be caused by too higher signal), it might still be worth putting a bit of attentuation in there.

Presumably you mean "too high a" and not "too higher" which doesn't actually mean anything. I am bemused by the idea that the signal strength detection mechanism inside the TV or the digibox would display a strong signal as a weak signal. The ones inside my Toshiba TV, my Humax recorder and my Icecrypt digibox all just give a percentage figure.

David Mansell: You are correct, I meant "too high a signal" and rather than "too higher signal". It means that the signal going into the TV is too high for what it can cope with.

If you look into at a very bright light for which the resulting effect is that you cannot see for a while, then that is because the amount of light entering your eyes is too high a brightness than it is designed for.

I live in Bradford and have a freeview tv and ever since Wednesday 28th Dec I have lost a large amount of freeview channels. Ive done the suggest re-set/scans over the last two days but still cannot get the channels back.
Has anyone else in this area had problems?
