Denise farnaby: Thanks for the update regarding the model of TV involved, but its the 10 minutes or so you refer to that gives me cause to wonder if its your TV itself that's causing the problem, as any external faults that might be occurring would generally be of a totally random nature, whereas not if originating from within the TV, like for example a faulty tuner, isn't it possible to borrow a small Freeview portable from someone for an aerial test?

Also I find it slightly difficult to check on your previous postings as they are not all under the same heading, but on what I did find I cant see you having mentioned anything about the aerial you are using, like where its installed and does the aerial go through anything such as an amplifier etc before it reaches your TV?

Also on your March 1st (@10.40am) posting you mentioned that you had purchased an HD unit and it was just the same, what was the HD unit?

Regarding the attenuator, what's printed on it as far as the dB reduction figure is concerned, as you didn't mention what it was and if its too weak it wouldn't make any difference to a strong signal.

These might seem like a lot of questions, but they are necessary to be able to assess what is liable to be causing your problem.

It would appear that no amount of trying to appease Mr. Mansell is going to work. He obviously has a chip on his shoulder the size of a sackfull of potatoes. I hope he manages to find the channels he is looking for at some time in the future but I do not think that anyone is going to run him a personal feed from Emley Moor to Todmorden.
Thanks for the input Mr. Davison. You, at least, have grasped what I was trying to get over to him. We all may now continue to benefit from what is regarded by thousands of people as a very useFULL forum.
jb38, on Denise Farnaby's problem, could it be a thermal fault in the digital circuitry? Seems to me to point to something working until it heats up and then disconnecting. I may be completely wrong of course.

David Mansell,Todmorden.Depending on which part of Todmorden you reside in (i resided there twice previously),plus are you also lower down or higher up.If you are higher up there is an outside chance you may be able to receive the main Winter Hill transmissions instead.It is something to consider if you live in a higher part of Todmorden.

Ron Lake: Re; Denise Farnaby's problem, yes! that's exactly the line of thought I am beginning to have regarding this problem, and to be honest as an engineer I should really have suggested right from the start that the aerial system should be tested by connecting it to another TV, an action that would have instantly verified if the fault was within the TV itself or not, as with the involvement of a time factor coming the equation could well suggest that it might be, and indeed possibly for reasons as mentioned by yourself but connected purely with the digital side of the set, as it was mentioned by Denise that analogue could still be received suggesting that the TV was OK in other ways.

On the other subject regarding David Mansell's views on the licence fee and PSB only relay stations, I am in total agreement with the content of your reply on this with your 12.26am posting on 4th really saying it all, as people have to realise that just because they might well have a licence doesn't automatically give them the "God given right" to receive anything more than services linked in various ways to the licence, which of course additional multiplexes are not, albeit that the licence regulations are cleverly (but loosely) worded to ensure that virtually no-one escapes paying by trying to maintain that they only view commercial multiplexes and such likes.

denise farnaby: do you have any duplicate channels stored in the 800s of your channel list? If so, do these channels also go off randomly?

jb38, Thank you for that vote of confidence. I really was trying just to explain why these 'iniquities' exist but the man just became so petulant that I am afraid I almost sank to his level. I would next have suggested he complain to his local MP, but thinking about his obvious IQ, he probably IS the local MP. They go in for this Yah Boo stuff trying to score Brownie points dont they? Mansell, rings a bell somehow.
On Denise's problem, yes with the short time to failure, coupled with the fact that analogue is working does seem a thermal issue with a component on the digital side. I note that the Lady lives in Leeds where presently there are a lot of tower cranes. Is it possible that these can cause such problems? In the last few weeks there have also been interruptions at Emley Moor due to ongoing DSO related works. These are published on here though which is another reason this forum is useFULL. Oh dear, slap my own wrist, mustn't be naughty.

David Mansell: This is my second post only on this site.I think you have a good point about FREEVIEW LIGHT.It not fair for these people just get a few channels with all the monney they have you would think they should treat all people the same.I am in a position that I do get all the channels from emley moor and take it from me some are good some I never switch on.Iam not on anybody side on this what you have said makes good sence also what others have said also makes good sence
now somebody will be having a go at me.I dont care if they do.I have point of view they have also, who is or wrong I dont know but just remeber this UK Free TV is here to help people not to have a war of words

Hi Jb38
Attenulator is 0-20db
my ariel is outside on roof and worked perfectly when changeover happened up until Jan then started playing up.
Can get analogue though with Tyne Tees.Currently no freeview at all.
My tv is Hd ready so bought hd box to convert to hd which worked for a couple of days then all went off again.
Ron Lake kept checking on this site to see if any problems with Emley Moor but it always says no probs,but people keep telling me there are.
Gonna try a portable to see if it works.Fingers crossed !!
