How do you find your symbol rate?
Hannington is my transmitter for RG2 0FW.
But I need to set it up in TvHeadEnd, and I dont know what the Symbol (baud) rate is?
Also the Delivery system?
And constellation?
Thanks :)

We are in kidlington, Oxon and for the last six months one of our tuners keeps changing to this transmitter (berks and north hants) our nearest transmitter is mendip and we have a perfect signal. Please note we have two different freeview boxes and both are doing this. We have had someone out to check the aerial and he has done some work but is baffled by this. We keep retuning until both boxes are on the nearest transmitter but at some point they both change one tuner back to this transmitter.

Nicola Baker: I was wondering about that! because using Kidlington post office as a test indicates that the Oxford transmitter is located at only about six miles away from you, and which in theory dependant on the aerial system being used, could result in your TV or boxes tuner suffering from the effects of being overloaded by an excessively strong signal and something which is capable of causing all sorts of odd problems.
Should you have any form of booster in line with your aerial then for a test try bypassing it, because once that Oxfords six muxes (inc HD) have been manually tuned in then they cannot change on their own.

Nicola Baker: Do the receivers in question have a facility to automatically re-tune, either at regular intervals or when a re-tune prompt is detected? If so, as Hannington uses lower frequencies than Oxford its muxes are found first during the scan. Consequently these muxes will be stored and the EPG slots filled. What happens when the scan reaches the Oxford frequencies depends on the design of the box. Mux BBCA, for example, will be detected as carrying a different region to BBCA from Hannington, so either BBC1 Oxford alone, or all the channels in the Oxford mux will be stored in the 800s. An identical mux, such as SDN will often either be ignored as a duplicate, or because the signal strength or quality is better than the Hannington version already stored, will then be stored instead of the Hannington version in the normal positions in the channel list. You could well find the COM muxes are quite randomly chosen from either Oxford or Hannington after each retune! Some boxes offer an option to turn off the automatic re-tuning facility.

Is there a new problem with Hannington - reduced power perhaps?
We have to use this TX as we can't see Rowridge (large hill in the way): normally we get good Freview quality at about 60% indicated strength.
Today we're seeing frequent (every 10-30s) reductions in quality (50%) with major impact on sound and pixellation.
Tested with 2 different TVs and 2 PVRs.
Could be our end, hence the question.

Hi,
Why are there so many BBC lip-sync problems with the Hannington transmitter at the moment ? The re-sets seem to be quite often.
What is going on ?

MS....
there is no reported issue with your transmitter.
You may have issue with your tv or aerial system.

I do hope someone can help as this is driving me crazy. I live about 3 miles from Crystal Palace. Until they built the monstrous flats right in front of me, you could SEE the transmitter directly ahead of you, back in the days when reception was perfect.
Now, tuning into Freeview via my PCTV T290e DVB-T USB tuner, you get between 1% signal strength and 100% - it's massively inconsistent and the slightest touch of the aerial knocks everything out.
Tried aerial amplifiers, amplified (and non-amplified) aerials, the tiny portable antenna that came with the tuner, and limited success. In fact the amplified aerials seem to have yielded the worst results.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan
