Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) transmitter
Wednesday 24 August 2011 2:14PM
Sheffield

This digital switchover is absolutely rubbish. I used to get a strong analogue signal from the Sheffield mast, to my aerial in the loft, giving 4 solid terrestrial stations and fuzzy channel 5.
I got a professional in to put up a better aerial on the roof and channel 5 got worse, though I got SOME digital channels with reasonable clarity unless the weather was rainy, cloudy, sunny, windy or snowy.
Now, BOTH BBC channels have broken-up and are unwatchable. The others are no better than they were.
My aerial is vertically polarised so it shouldn't pick up Emley Moor. I would have line-of-sight to Sheffield mast if my house was 150 yards closer.
Pointless rubbish.
Can I get a discount on my licence fee if I can't receive what I'm paying for?
