Hi,
I live in Allestree, Derby (DE24 2RL) with a direct line of sight to the Derby relay transmitter in Littleover, so I can get East Midlands BBC.
My aerial also picks up other channels which I guess must be coming from Sutton Coldfield, including West Midlands BBC.
Over the last week or so, my BBC2 HD seems to vanish on the dot at 6pm. Does "something happen" at that time that might cause me to lose it. BBC1 HD is fine.
I sometimes have similar evening problems with some of the ITV channels, but that's been going on for a while and doesn't bother me so much.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
David

Hi, i have some constant interference with my Free view box over the last two weeks, this consists of distorted screen, freezing, loss of sound making it impossible to watch the channel, this is a twenty four hour issue. This has happened on most channels but not usually on BBC. I have an Ariel in the loft. Not has these issues before.
My postcode is DE22 3AH
Do you know what may be causing the interference?
Thank you
Christina

Christina :
I have had problems with my you view channels. The screen shows either no video signal or unsupported signal.
I spent ages on the phone to a BT help line and going through the reset procedure. The help line booked a BT engineer for later this week. Now I discover that a number of friends of mine in Prestwick and Ayr are having similar problems but no oone knows what is being done about it. I am in Troon (Ayrshire) post code KA10 6 LL.
What is going on?

Christina : Whats your signal strength on the various muxes? Although some boxes can have a sudden software problem, if you getting interfrence or breakup, then the signal is normally too low or too high. If its too low, then its often a result of a fault in the aerial system - a frayed or broekn cable, etc.
Its noy impossible for a temp inversion to occur (some people had one the other week), but there hasn't been anything reported yet.
Evelyn - the same goes for you. If there is 'no signal', the box is telling you just that. And again, its normally down to a problem at your end.

Hi,
I live in Allestree, Derby (DE22 2RL) and, while I receive most of my freeview from Sutton Coldfield, I get East Midlands channels (BBC1, ITV1) from the Derby transmitter (which is a direct line of sight of my rooftop aerial).
However, every evening (I'd say sometime between 5 and 6pm) my ITV1 and other ITV channels disappear. This has been the case for several years, maybe since the last freeview switching. It's never been a problem, I don't watch that much tv and when I need ITV1 I can get it via HD or by switching to the West Midlands ITV channels, which my tv puts in the 800 freeview range.
However, what has perplexed me this last couple of weeks is that the same fate befalls the extra BBC Red Button Wimbledon channels, 602-606. They are there during daytime, but, like ITV, they disappear after 5-6pm. The standard Red Button 601 channel is still accessible at all times.
I've contacted freeview.co.uk but they can't offer any explanation. I wondered if the experts on here could offer any explanation as to what happens in the early evening to scupper a handful of freeview channels?
Many thanks,
David

This transmitter has moved on 22nd August 2018, would it be possible to see the changes reflected in the ukfree transmitter maps please?
Details of the move are here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/rec…m205
Unfortunately this removes the option of East Midlands regional news for us since the new tx location is over the other side of a ridge - the old tx location was actually ON the ridge that now stops us from receiving a signal! Not good.

I live in South Derbyshire, in the village of Weston on Trent, and recently, perhaps due to "inclement weather", the Freeview signal have deen disconnecting every 10 seconds or thereabouts. Can someone, perhaps, comment/help?
