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?

Marie Turner,Hebden Bridge.Now that you have stated that you do have a HD box,you should be able to receive the BBCB (HD) multiplex from the Hebden Bridge relay.
In your locality i think the Hebden Bridge relay is practically the only way you will receive some freeview programmes,Emley Moor is almost certainly out of bounds unless you live very high up,Winter Hill is virtually impossible unless again you live very high up,so changing or realigning your current aerial will do no good im afraid.
In my honest opinion what you envisaged about Freesat is probably the only option that is open to you.If you do decide that Freesat is for you,go for it,you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Currently getting bad signal or no service on channels from the following transmiiter bands:
BBCA
ARQB
My aerial is roog mounted and pointing at Emley Moor. Reception in general recently has been variable and not as good as when the initial period after digital switchover. Has the transmitter power been reduced to save £?

Bryan: ArqB on C48 is known to have "reactive power reduction of 87,000 Watts if required" until September and this is believed to be because one of Pontop Pike's pre-switchover is co-channel.

I'm surprised that you're tuned to Emley in Brough. I guess that Belmont, which provides news for your area, isn't an option.

Dave: Emley moor gives the best reception in Brough but it is marginal, depending on where you point your aerial. Down my street it is about a 50/50 split. I prefer the BBC news from Leeds, as the Humberside news has too much news from Lincs! I would prefer BBC to have one news source for the whole area like ITV. It would save money too! Any reason for poor reception on BBCA?

Bryan, I live in the village of Bramham 3 to 4 miles south of Wetherby. Since the switchover last September, I have never had trouble with any of the Multiplexes. If SDN C48 is on lower power it does not show it here at my address.
If I put my postcode and house number in any of.the sites that advize on the best Transmitter , I am told that Bilsdale is better for me.But of cause I prefer Emley Moor Transmitter. I Hope things get better for you.

sharealam: Reception is fine for all channels except ITV4, Film 4, Yesterday etc etc all of which are transmitted on Emely Moor channel 48. This our transmitter of choice. Signal veers from good to zero. Channel 48 is transmitted at half the power of all the others (87,000 as opposed to 174,000 watts) and this is suspected as the reason for fluctuating reception. Why is power reduced and when is it likely to be increased?
