I live on the south side of Glasgow and because of local geographical features (a steep hill right behind the house and tall trees to the south etc. we cannot receive any from Harthill and - the main transmitters for this area.
I have pointed the directly at the . It is 41km away and without an there is no useable signal. but with an amp placed in the eaves near where the enters the we can now receive clear signals of PSB1 (BBCA) Channel 49
PSB2 (D3+4) Channel 58
PAB3 (BBCB) Channel 54
Signal strength ranges between 80% and 90% according to my television and it rates the signal at 100% on all 3 .

However,
COM4 (SDN) Channel 53
COM5 (ArqA) Channel 57
COM6 (ArqB) Channel 57

Show as zero signal.
I am plugging directly into the TV - an LG 42LM 670T.

Can anyone me me fix this or at least understand why?

Thanks.

Simon: I don't think you will be able to receive COMs at your location because they are co- with the which is on the same bearing and is also vertically polarised.

The COMs have inferior coverage, meaning that for transmitters which do carry them there are likely to be places where only PSBs can be received reliably.

and are your only possibilities for picking up the COMs, and if you can't receive from either then it's PSBs only I'm afraid.

Simon: This box has automatically addressed you, so I don't know if that is correct. From new, our Sony 1TB PVR has had to be manually tuned to , Yorkshire, as it prefers to look over the Pennines and 100 miles further to Carlisle, to pick up the weak from NW TV. The list of MUXs I had appears to have been superceded and I can't find a new list. Can anyone please? The list I was using is: 41, 44, 47, 48, 51,52. but even this won't overide the NW tendency. The Sony TV doesn't appear to suffer the same problem.
The store has since closed down but denied any problem from new.A with all problems, we are the only people in the known universe to have experienced this.
Help please, Jack

Jack: The names of the format "PSB#" and "COM#" are post - labels. Each has its own title, a proper noun. I have given these below along with corresponding UHF numbers for .

A more detailed explanation of the different names is here: Why do the six Freeview "multiplexes" have twenty different names?

UHF for Emley Moor are as you have quoted, although several others have started up since then on lower but which at least some of you might receive in Acaster Malbis.

Channels are:

PSB1 - "BBC A" - BBC One -
PSB2 - "D3&4" - ITV -
PSB3 - "BBC B" - BBC One HD -
COM4 - "SDN" - ITV3 -
COM5 - "Arq A" - Pick -
COM6 - "Arq B" - 4Music -
COM7 - "COM7 (HD)" - CBeebies HD/BBC Four HD -
COM8 - "COM8 (HD)" - QVC+1 HD -

You "may" also be able to receive the local Leeds multiplex on , which broadcasts directionally rather than omni-directionally) towards Leeds, and therefore in your direction.

Digital UK publishes a full list of by multiplex, which it identifies by their proper nouns. You can click the headings to order by that heading:

Digital UK Industry - Channel listings

I am a technical bod so I would some general suggestions:

1. See if your has a setting. It could be that the region it's giving you is first alphabetically, the "Yorkshire" of Emley Moor probably being the last. This might need changing.

2. It might be tuning to because it is on the lowest UHF channel number and therefore found first.

One way of getting it to automatically tune to Emley Moor might be to have the aerial out for the first 30% or until it gets past UHF channel 30 during its . With this method you might need to go back and use manual tuning to add C32 and C34 if the aerial isn't in soon enough.
