john charlesworth: If the problem is only happening at certain times it is most likely being caused by something in your home (or a near neighbour) being switched on/off via a timer, such as a central heating system, which can emit electrical interference.

MR C CHAPPELL:
There are no current reported problems at the transmitter. I would check all your connections by unplugging your coax leads, inspecting them and plugging them in again - this should help clear any dirty connections. How long is it since the problem started?
Are there any other sets receiving signals from the same aerial, and are they all ok?

Hello - you may be able to help! Looking at the Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) Full Freeview transmitter | free and easy page - I see there's a retune on Oct 23, looking at the table, does this mean we'll lose COM5/ArqA channels on Oct 23? Then, I guess the next ones we'd lose is the COM7 channels before the end of June next year, is that right? Thanks for your help. Chris

Chris Benson: According to Digital UK there is a retune on 23rd October, however no multiplexes are closing on that date (the only changes are COM8 moving to UHF channel 56 and the local mux moving to UHF 39). There is a further retune due early next year (no date has yet been announced) when COM4, COM5 and COM7 will be moving.

Hello
Over last few days having problem with COM8 on Emily Moor which transmit channels freesports and quest hd, plus others but not used. The signal keeps going off but between look fine with average signal strength and very good quality.
We are in YO195RH.
Any help or assistance would be gratefully received.
All other channels appear very good so assume not my setup.
Many thanks
Steven

Steven:
I can't find any reports of Planned Engineering or Faults for Emley Moor at present.
If you've been having this issue since the retune event on the 23rd October, then it's possible that you don't have a Group T / Wideband aerial and have the original Group B which may not satisfactorily receive further multiplexes after further retune events in Q1 & Q2 next year. Providing you don't have Satellite or Cable TV you can get free help by contacting the Freeview Advice line on 0808-100-0288 where they should be offering to send an engineer to replace your aerial with a Group T / Wideband which is what you'll need to have satisfactory reception of all multiplexes after retunes next year.
If you already have a Group T/ Wideband aerial then see the following -
Problematic connections, water ingress etc. can seem to affect reception of just an individual or several multiplexes.
So I'd suggest you check all you coax plugs, connections, flyleads etc, unplug connectors check for corrosion or other problems and reconnect them. See what signal strengths and quality you are getting for the multiplexes shown in your TV's tuning section, this might indicate potential issues with your aerial or downlead. Also check that your downlead looks undamaged and that your aerial seems intact and pointing in the correct direction.

I live in Wibsey BD61LE and for this location my transmitter should be Bilsdale in the North East plus I have a self imposed handicap in that my aerial is in the loft and it points toward Emley Moor. The aerial is a log Optima L20F Group W and my DIGIAIR dB says it receives at about 45dBuV. This feeds into 5v dc pass thru amp a Vision 20-1127 with 27dB gain which in turn feeds a house distribution amp. House TVs were tuned using auto then selecting Yorkshire as the area which in hindsight was a bit naive.
The retune of Oct 23, 2019 meant that COM8 HD CH56 was changed to CH37 and this caused problems with low signal level and dropout. To cut a long story short I moved the Group W aerial to point to Bilsdale (56dBuV) and added an extra Group B (Blake CR10B) to point to Emley Moor (45dBuV) and resorted to manual tuning of TVs and PVRs. The new MUX channel map looks like this:
CH MUX Operator
23 PSB3 BBCB HD Bilsdale
29 PSB2 D3+4 Bilsdale
31 COM7 HD - Bilsdale
37 COM8 HD - Bilsdale
40 COM6 ArqB Bilsdale
43 COM4 SDN Bilsdale
46 COM5 ArqA Bilsdale
47 PSB1 BBCA Emley Moor
CH47 is used used only to receive BBC1 Yorks on TVs whilst PVR tuning relies entirely on Bilsdale. In these cases CH47 is changed to CH26 PSB1 BBCA Bilsdale. The signal strength at the TV CH26 is 84dBuV with CH47 lower at 69dBuV. TV reports signal strength 100% with varying quality for CH47. Not that I anticipate any problems, I will swap the Group W log aerial for a similar Group K one to avoid any 5G issues and only because I have easy access to the aerials.
