Freeview reception at SL7 3NH


For reliable and stable Freeview reception, you need an unobstructed path between the TV aerial on your roof and the digital TV transmitter. The map below shows the transmitters predicted to provide a signal at this location.

You can click on any transmitter symbol to show the coverage area as a green overlay on the map. Double click on a transmitter symbol to go to the transmitter information page.

You can also view the ten closest potential '4G-at-800' mobile phone masts within 1.5km of the selected location - these masts may be used for 4G-at-800 mobile broadband services from 2013-2015.

Grace : Yes, its really a case of wait and see, as the reality of the situation as far as the reception levels expected from these stations can be quite different from that forecast on the predictor, which by the way can be viewed by clicking on "G's DigitalUK tradeview" seen in the blue selection box on the right hand side of your posting.

You can presently get a rough idea of whether or not Beacon Hill is likely to be an option by carrying out the manual tune test (as described in my reply) by checking for a signal from the lowest mux channels used by the station, Panasonic menu systems being ideal for tests of this sort.

Press: menu / set up / DVB tuning / manual tuning, then pressing "up or down" on the large centre button on the remote control until you see C42 selected, hesitating for 30 secs or so to see if anything is indicated in the strength / quality bars before moving on to C45.

The reason for the test using Beacon Hills lower channel numbers is because the aerial you are presently using for reception of Stockland Hill is likely to be group A which will be inefficient for the reception of Beacon Hills higher channels, although if signals of any significant level are received from Beacon Hill then you "might" be able to pick up its COM7 on C33 which "is" in the same group as used by Stockland Hill.

The aforementioned is purely for test purposes.

I have moved from Grassington to skipton and have freeview built in on my (new) HD tv. But since the move i have lost over half of the freeview channels and the guide menu is out of sync. I have tried re-tuning but with no joy. I've heard parts of skipton have bad freeview reception, is this true?

Lizzy: Unfortunately that would appear to be the case, as a quick tour around the rooftops in and around your area reveals a series of "vertically" mounted aerials facing the Skipton Town Freeview - light - PSB only transmitter, although in some cases further away from your particular location pointing towards Skipton or Sutton In Craven Freeview - light transmitters.

The reason for highlighting "vertical" being, that most aerials used for reception from full service transmitters such as Winter Hill as was previously used when you resided in Grassington (but not now receivable) use horizontally mounted aerials, none of seen on any rooftops anywhere near to your location.

Lizzy: I doubt you'll be able to receive the Commercial (COM) Freeview channels at your location. Due to the terrain in the area there a number of relay transmitters that don't carry the COM channels.

Judging by Google Streetview photos you are likely to be using Skipton or Skipton Town transmitter. Due to the fact that you are very low-lying you aren't able to receive the full service directly from Emley Moor.

All Freeview HD channels are suddenly giving me "No Signal" - although I'm sure I was receiving BBC One HD this lunch time (22nd April).

I can now report receiving some brief and garbled flashes of a few HD channels, and so the problem seems to be a sudden and catastrophic drop in signal quality from the Crystal Palace transmitter.

Chris Rankin: ' the problem seems to be a sudden and catastrophic drop in signal quality from the Crystal Palace transmitter.' - according to R & T Investigation, there are no problems.

I've started receiving the HD channels from BBCB again, but I'm still not receiving any of the HD channels from COM such as BBC 4 HD and BBC News HD.

Has anyone else spotted problems with information from Digital UK? I live in North London, N6 5SQ and like most of my neighbours use Alexandra Palace for free view. Yet DUK state AP offers a poor signal and the best transmitter for my area is Crystal Palace, but this transmitter has always been marred by problems with ghosting and reflections.
Second point, I have a free sat box for the extra channels AP doesn't provide. Disappointed that the new London live channel isn't on AP or free sat.
Does anyone know if it is included in the free sat from sky package? I don't want to pay for TV but know that Sky and Virgin offer London live for a charge for viewers not able to use Crystal Palace.
