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?

signal strength and quality are showing fine by the way the quality is reading full and the strength at about 3/4 my TV free view even reads bit errors and it is showing none.

mike Roberts: If I could just intrude with regards to your query, yes! under certain circumstances it could, but the only way you would know fr certain would be to enquire locally if anyone else has noticed the problem.

The other thing to keep in mind is that on going engineering work is in progress at the station, so there is the possibility of other problems cropping up now and again over the next week.

mike Roberts: I personally very much doubted that it would be your equipment at fault anyway, but unfortunately there isnt any other way to determine the cause of your complaint as even if your neighbours did view the same programme as yourself they may not even notice the problem, as some people are remarkably unobservant, plus the fact that time factor you mentioned between each of the occasions the problem occurred arent exactly close together.

Its one of these situations where you dont really have any option but to bide your time and see if it vanishes as the problem is caused by something outwith your control, and which I am reasonably sure will vanish as quick as it started.

Denise Farnby: This is not as a result of maintenance. It sounds like there's something nearby that is causing electrical interference.

If it happens at a particular time, then this suggests something electrical that is time switching on. Perhaps central heating or hot water. Motorised valves can emit such interference.

A battery powered radio, probably on MW/AM or LW, tuned away from a station might be useful in locating the source as it will probably come through as noise. Once listening, walk around (going outside as well) to find where it is greatest.

For AM/MW/LW radios, the aerial is usually inside and often is parallel to the enclosure. The most sensitive directions will be to the front and back and the least sensitive will be to the sides. Thus, if you spin it around, you will be able to work out which two directions the source could be (and where it's not likely to be).

As an example, suppose you are stood with the radio in your hands with its front facing you. If the noise is at its loudest, and reduces to its lowest when you have the radio at right angle to this position, then you know that the source of the interference is in front of you, behind you or possibly above you.
