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?

Steve: Film4 +1 is carried on the PSB3 HD multiplex and therefore can only be received on TVs or boxes that support Freeview HD (HD Ready or Full HD is not enough as these only indicate that the TV can display a HD picture, whereas a DVB-T2 tuner is needed to receive any channel on a HD multiplex even if that channel is only in SD).

Hello. I think as of December 1 2017 Talking Pictures has moved off the HD C32 to C48. Could be wrong, but I think so.

Peter: Talking Pictures moved from COM7 to COM6 yesterday and can now therefore be received by any Freeview receiver that can receive 4Music on LCN 18.

John Maddison:

Near the top of this page it shows the channel numbers and frequencies for all the services from Emley Moor transmitter. From that I can see that Com6 is on Channel 48 which is 690 MHz.

Got a strange one here. My Humax Fox-T2 has decided it doesn't like COM7 on Ch.32. All other muxes SD and HD are fine and the Toshiba TV(at the end of a daisy chain from the same antenna as the Humax) registers perfect signal from Emley Moor Ch32 and all programmes. The Humax doesn't even register any signal present on Ch32. I think I've got Humax stumped as well.
Also why can't any historical pages of comment be accessed on this page?

Mike Davidson:

What signal strength does your TV set report for that channel? Com 7 is usually a weaker signal than the PSB and Coms 4, 5 ,and 6. So the signal may be too weak for the Humax but just sufficient for the Toshiba TV.

Historical pages back to Page 1 are available, look at the line of numbers below the postings.

I am unable to receive channels on COM7 ch32 on my two SONY tv`s and one HUMAX freeview box, though I have another HUMAX freeview box (different model) which does receive COM7 ch32 perfectly. I have tried two different aerials and retuned and replaced connecting coax cables but still the same problem exists. It seems that the two SONY TV`s and one HUMAX box are recognising the signal as DVB-T2 at all.All other channels are good, I have excellent signal as I live in line of site and only a few miles away from the Emley Moor mast. The problem has only recently occured, all channels have been working fine for years previously

Along the same lines as the recent posts from Mike Davison and G Hadley, we are now suddenly experiencing problems with COM7 on Channel 32 from Emley Moor. We have a recent Panasonic TV and not so recent Humax Fox-T2 that now can't handle Channel 32, having both been able to do so previously without problem. We also have a TalkTalk YouView box which can still handle Channel 32 without any issue whatsoever.

The Panasonic and Humax devices don't seem to register a recognisable signal at all on Channel 32 at the moment, whereas the TalkTalk box is happy with it and shows an unwavering 100% signal quality.

I was starting to wonder if weather conditions had taken the signal out of tolerance for the Panasonic and Humax receivers, but the TalkTalk box's complete lack of problem with the channel, and G Hadley's post as someone in an excellent reception area, make me think this is unlikely.

It seems more likely that some receivers aren't able to handle the signal coming from Emley Moor on Channel 32 at the moment i.e. the receivers aren't able to handle a signal that they should be able to handle, or Emley Moor is somehow transmitting a non-compliant or obscure signal. I admit the second of these sounds remarkably unlikely.

Any advice and/or pointers would be much appreciated.
