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.

This website does not reply to any emails. We contributors will only respond to posting on this site. If you are loosing programmes I suggest yopu recheck all your aerial connections.

The new mast is to be a temporary one for a couple of years while engineering work of a major nature is carried out on the structure and fittings of the main mast. It is not yet completed so the 'old' one is still in use. When the new mast and aerials come into use, you will not need to retune for that. It will still cover the more than 2m Freeview viewers.

COM7 Ch32 Emley Moor is not being recognised by my Humax box or Sony TV as T2 so I cannot recieve any channels from COM7 . This same problem happened a few months ago , I suspect something wrong with the identification of COM7 as it has a mix of HD snd SD channels. Last time this happened it was corrected after a few days, I hope the same correction occurs very soon, I'm sure I'm not the only person with this problem.

Have you retuned? I understand that the muxes might have moved. And Com 7 has/had HD and SD channels on it - you needed a T2 tuner to get them, whatever they were.

Thanks Mike, but I'm 100% sure that this is not a tuning issue, the receiver(s) are tuned to the correct channel CH32 , the issue is that the receivers do not recognise COM7 as a T2(HD) or standard DVB(T) broadcast they simply don't 'see' the digital broadcast on that channel at all, I'm sure it is an issue with the identification of the signal. The exact same thing happened in February and within a couple of days (after I posted on here) the issue was resolved.. until now

Please provide a full post code so that we contributors can see what the expected signal reception is like at your location. It is not possible to advise without that detail.

Neil Margerison:

There are no such plans known publicly. The Idle transmitter is a relay of Emley Moor and is a 'Freeview Lite' service. What channels are transmitted from such transmitters is decided by the broadcasters on whether there is a commercial benefit to them to pay to transmit more channels. So you receive exactly what they have decided are viable for them to broadcast in that area.

Moved into Deepcar (near Sheffield) 7 years ago. Had high gain antenna plus amplifier installed and have been getting good reception until about June 2018. Then lost everything. Then it came back a couple of weeks ago but in the last few days it is not watchable. Antenna points at Emily Moor. Is there engineering work / frequency changes going on? Having spent a lot on this antenna
