Mr K S Simpson: I don't follow you. The to the is which broadcasts Look North (Yorkshire). Look North (East Yorkshire & Lincolnshire) is from .

Follow this link:

Terrain between ( m a.g.l.) and (antenna m a.g.l.) - Optimising UK DTT Freeview and Radio aerial location

It is a plot of the terrain between you (on the left) and the transmitter (on the right). The ground rises up and about 1 mile away is 40m above your ground level (around about Messingham Road). This is probably why the aerials in your area generally point to Emley Moor.

You can of course try for from Belmont so as to get Look North (East Yorkshire & Lincolnshire), but be aware that the situation is not ideal.

I would also add that it wasn't until just over 10 years ago that Emley Moor and Belmont became different regions as far as BBC regional news is concerned. So when many aerials were put up each transmitter broadcast the same (with the exception of opt-outs within Calendar) Now they are different it might be worth going for Belmont, whose reception isn't likely to be as easy but which will give the more local news.

Have you checked that your tv connections are good? where is your aerial is it on the or in the ? Dave tends to be on the lower .... but as i seen where your map is you should be able to get it with no problems.... but like i say check everything in your home 1st it can be something simple like poor aerial connection or your aerial moved slightly that does cause to break up sometimes

this helps

Rob

gemma stone: Judging by you are in a poor area as far as getting the Commercial goes. Most aerials on your road are seen (pn Streetview, May 2009) to face the which does not carry Dave and other Commercial .

Can you confirm that your does NOT point to Faversham (its elements will be vertical [up/down]) at 209 degrees? What direction does it point in and is it horizontal or vertical?

gemma stone : In addition to that said by Dave Lindsay regarding the . If you are also unable to receive (10) ITV3 or (18) 4Music, then your will most likely be from the Faversham relay, neither programme transmitted by this .

That said, one or two aerials in your area would appear to be pointing towards the transmitter @ 16miles / 268 degrees, and although indications are that from anywhere other than Faversham is liable to be iffy, should by any chance you are able to receive ITV3 or 4Music? then it could be from Bluebell Hill, therefore carry out a "manual" tune on Mux the transmitter used by Dave / Pick TV etc.

I live in a block of six flats, which share a single on the pointed at the .

There is a distribution amp in the , but I have no idea how powerful as it's not my loft. I estimate the aerial runs to each flat to be about 15 metres for two flats and nearly 30 metres for the other four. The flat whose electricity powers the amp frequently loses power for several hours when their key meter runs out. This results in no TV to all six flats for long periods.

Given that there is no communal power supply, it would be desirable to find a solution that does not require an . How many aerials would this be likely to need? (I know this is a "wet finger in the wind" type of question.)

MFPA:

If each flat were to have their own separate , then one for each flat means six will be needed. I suspect that would tend to be rather unsightly unless they can be positioned in such a way as to be not visible from the ground or surrounding areas.

The real issue is why the aerial distribution system is powered from the electricity supply for one of the flats, so that means they have been paying for everyone in the other flats to view TV ! The owner of the flats should be contacted to ask them to change how the TV system is supplied so that all the 6 flats are not affected by the loss of power when the money in the meter od the one flat runs out. Plus it would the occupier of that flat the expense of powering the system for everyone else. I'm sure they will appreciate that small saving, it would not be much but over a year could add up to a couple of pounds or so.

Peasedown St John is only about 17 km away from the with no obstructions visible to cause problems so individual aerials would not need any amplification at all and any communal system does not need any significant , merely enough to overcome splitting and distribution losses.

MFPA: Thanks for replying, Mike.

The answer to why a builder 20-odd years ago set the TV distribution system up in a particular way is anybody's guess. But a communal supply to supply just a TV amp would likely have cost much more for each flat's share of the standing charge alone than the usage has been costing the occupiers of that one flat.

Any changes would be in the remit of the residents' management company, so there is not a commercial or absentee owner to poke.

I guess my real question was would each flat really need its own aerial, or is it likely a fairly decent aerial with a splitter might be sufficient for two flats? Six aerials would be a bit of a forest, but three could look OK.
