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?

Now I understand line of sight is not so importmant if you are able to get signals from the back of the aieral.Is there any way you get the signals screened out to give you the chanels you do want, and cut out the ones you dont want

Dave Parker: The answer to your question is basically no, as the offending channels from Belmont and Bilsdale are to a certain extent interwoven to that used by Emley Moor, and although one could possibly achieve an element of success using notch filters those devices have to be professionally installed to be effective, plus of course they are not cheap!
The other aspect being, that any attempts to use some form of screening on the aerial would be doomed to failure as this simply does not work, trough aerials being used for this purpose in professional fields.
The whole situation can be avoided at no cost whatsoever by manually tuning in each of the muxes required, problem being that some TV / boxes do not offer this facility.

Thanks for explanation(I hope I spelled it right). It seem strange to me if we have the nohow to give us all these chanels.We have to get some we dont want.
Well such is life.

Hi
Just retuned my Bush hd freeview box to get the latest COM 7 HD channels, but the signals are blocky and pixellated.Existing freeview HD channels are fine.,
Any ideas please?

John: This could be caused by more than one reason dependant on which transmitter you are receiving Freeview from, i.e: Bilsdale or Emley Moor.
If Bilsdale (@ 26 miles) then as the new COM7 transmitter is only radiating on 17.8Kw compared to the other COM's on 50 Kw then the signal strength received from COM7 on C31 could be a bit on the low side and require boosting.
If you normally use Emley Moor (@ 35 miles) for reception then its COM7 (C32) only radiates on 50Kw compared to174Kw on the normal COM's.
Finally, and a variation on both stations referred to, if you normaly use Emley Moor for reception then Bilsdale could have been accidentally picked up during your retuning exercise, as Bilsdale uses lower channels numbers over that of Emley Moor.
You can check where you are receiving COM7 from by carrying out a signal strength test on the channel, C31 being Bilsdale whereas C32 being Emley Moor.

am still having some issues with my freeview hd which is connected to a indoor aerial in the loft which i've been using well over 2 years now with little to no issues at all. i have redone the connections to ensure that wasn't the issue which it wasn't :(
i did notice on a day when it was bad that i was able to watch a channel and monitor the other tuner for for signal issues which did happen. the odd part is the strength doesn't change at all but the quality does from the avg ~72% down to ~45%
i've not had some many issues in such a short amount of time as i've been using freeview hd for well over 2 years with little to no issues at all.... untill the past 2 months which is when it became alot more worth.
here's a picture for more details

red = bad
green = good
blue = normal
p.s im using the tv card (twin tuner dvb-t2) in my pc which has also been replaced and still the same issue (DN45BP)

COM7 (C32) coming through good and strong here in Leeds, even with an old rooftop B group aerial! On the other hand, SDN (C51) has been really low signal quality recently, especially in the mornings.
Quite often my TV flashes up 'new channels found' and retunes itself, thinking that the SDN signal from Belmont is a better one to use - but in fact provides a worse picture than Emley! Any ideas why the TV thinks that?

Adrian: Looking at your image I would suspect you're having problems with interference affecting the quality of the signal as the strength stays the same. Have you any new electrical equipment that starts and stops or central heating boiler etc.?

Betamax_man: nope everything is the same as it has been for well over 2 years and due to it being "random" it sure makes it harder to work out what is causing it but i will have to agree there must be some kind of interference that is happen and as to why it happening now (for the past ~3months) am not sure as there is few days i can go without a single issue and then it can be really bad like you have seen in the image. i do know it can act much worst when the weather is quite bad but its never been a issue at all until lately, also any suggestions as to what i could try and do as the aerial itself isn't easy to get to and is pain due to where its placed :/

Is it at all possible for Radio Ham or CB to interfere, especially if the power has been boosted by the users?
