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?

Joseph K: If you look at this link: Postcode Checker - Trade View it will tell you your most likely or only transmitter is Emley Moor. I really think, if you rent, you need to speak to your landlord to get him/her to sort it. Or if you have purchased, the maintenance company responsible for the building.

Brilliant! My building concierge was not around all day and my repeated calls to the company in charge of the building have gone unanswered! (Yes, it is the Gatehaus). How interesting that television can vanish, just like that!
So I gather that it's a building problem--the worst-case scenario-- which will likely never be fixed.
But seriously-- is it really possible that, assuming to fault is with the communal aerial (or a connection to it), is it really likely that I would receive no signal at all when trying to rescan (or manually find) with an indoor aerial and booster. Nothing?
Anyone know of a cable or satellite TV provider with short term contracts?

Yes. Freesat. It's free. All you need to do is purchase the equipment, have a dish installed and bobs your uncle. That is of cause if your outside wall faces south south east.

It could be that someone (one of your neighbours) has access to the distribution amplifier and or the power supply to it and has tampered with it. That's the problem with some communal systems.

Hey, thanks for all of the input...
Looks like whatever happens, I won't be watching TV anytime soon!
I was just looking at the Freesat and Freesat from Sky websites, and it looks like they don't offer the channel Dave or Quest, the channels I probably watch the most...!

Thanks again, everbody, for the help and advice... I'll update if there's any good news!

Joseph K: Yes, please give an update on what transpires, as I am also rather intrigued about your apparent vanishing signal.

As far as nothing being received during a rescan with a set top aerial is concerned, I am beginning to think that there is a great possibility that this situation might have been exactly the same if that test had done prior to the signal vanishing, and caused by the building when during construction being insulated with modern hi-tech heat reflective material between its walls, and with this leaving the only source of reception being through the communal aerial system, something which I strongly suspect as having developed a fault and a possible reason for why the signal was there one day and not the next.

Its just a line of thought, as although dealing with the peculiarities of RF signal paths etc is known as a black art, in cases like this there is usually some logical explanation, and which as aforementioned is generally only found out during an on-site visit.

Sharealam,
No doubt this will be another 24/7 advertising channel with the odd snippet of 1960's telly chucked in to try keep us interested.
Dont know if anyone else noticed, but there are a growing number of 'Teleshopping' channels these days. It's becoming painful.

I was interested to read the problems you are having. If you are a tennant living in a block of flats, your landlord should have made any communal aerial system in your flats fully compatable with digital Tv prior to analog to digital swichover

I refer you to this link
