Louis : Just a little point with regards to your on 698Mhz, when you entered the into your TV or boxes "manual" tune facility you should really have hesitated before pressing search or , as on most equipment if any is being received then no matter how low its strength or might be the level will appear on the relevant indicator bars immediately after having entered the frequency (or number) as the tuner is simply acting like a form of signal meter free of cut off thresholds, this only coming into play as soon as search or scan is pressed and is the reason why that some people might find that although a signal was being indicated on the signal bars prior to searching its subsequently discovered that nothing has been stored in the EPG list.

The reason for pointing this out being, that "if" any from is possible then it will be suffering from a high level of attenuation due to the fact that its being received on an that's only 17 degrees away from its (or any!) aerials null spot of 90 degrees from the incoming signal, plus the other aspect being that the signal is being received via the aerials rear pick up and which also adds to the attenuation referred to.

Hi, I have a Samsung 22 inch led tv. Recently 43 Stv, channels 4 and 5 etc all started failing and losing . The stalls and breaks up and sound crackles. I have a and all cabling seems fine. All other channels tune correctly. Can anyone advise please?
I have tried a retune and clearing the channel memory etc with a factory reset etc but to no avail.

Thanks.

Louis: In your initial post (Thursday 31 October 2013 1:33PM) your last question was how can you get East Midlands news back.

If you previously had it at this address then perhaps you were lucky. If it was at a previous address whose pointed to then perhaps you received BBC and ITV from the .

Some parts of Derby can't receive from , but can receive from Sutton Coldfield. To address the issue that these people got Midlands programming, a was built at the Fire Service Headquarters at Littleover. This relays Waltham's PSBs (and therefore BBC One East Midlands and ITV Central East) and broadcasts directionally towards Derby. See the map for coverage: Derby (Derby, England) Freeview Light transmitter | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice (don't be drawn too much as to whether you're inside or outside the green area - use it as a guide only.)

Because of its location, Sutton Coldfield and it are on roughly the same bearing in the target area and therefore a single aerial pointing somewhere between the two allows of both. If you previously lived in that area then you could have had your aerial pointing to Sutton Coldfield whilst being able to receive East Midlands programming.

Judging by the coverage map you may be on the fringes. You could try scanning for its BBC One on (690MHz) and ITV on (714MHz).

Do as jb38 says and enter the and then wait to see if it gives any indication of strength and before pressing the button to (which could be "OK" or "add " or something similar).

Derby, like Waltham, is close to being at 90 degrees from the direction your aerial is facing, that is to the side, and the aerial is least sensitive 90 degrees to where its facing (which is what jb38 was referring to when he talked about the "null spot").

We have just moved. 11.5km north of and 35.5km east of . Houses here have tall aerials and seem divided in choice of transmitter. We had a /splitter fitted, to which three TVs are connected. The on two of them is perfect and they show South East News. HOWEVER, the lounge TV is through a BT Vision box and tries to give us the East Anglian News. I say "tries" because the signal strength is SO weak that the is constantly breaking up! This applies mainly to the BBC and BT Sport. Can anyone explain this? (PS. Tried to do Manual Tune but TV won't allow me)

Dennis : So does the BT Vision box tune correctly to or is it giving Anglia?

You've already given the answer to your question: you're in a difficult area for Bluebell Hill and .

Looking at the OS map, in the direction of Bluebell Hill the ground rises up towards Starmore Wood. Whilst the Anglia transmitters are further away there is probably a clearer path between you and them.

If your was on Crystal Palace then I would suggest unplugging the aerial after your TV has scanned its as they are all in the first third of the band, with Anglia's being in the middle third. Unfortunately those of Bluebell Hill and Rouncefall/ (the transmitters which broadcast Anglia together on the same channels) are interleaved.

If your TV has manual tuning then why isn't it allowing you to do it? What is the result?

I have coming off a communal (high!) -top into my flat and have been getting bad on all four BBC TV for the last few days. Apparently we (EN11 postcode) are on the which is showing 'interruption' on this site, but I'm not sure if that means interference or complete loss of service.
I have re-scanned a couple of times but have no improvement and all other channels are okay. Will this resolve or do I need to report it to the landlord? It's pretty unwatchable at the moment.
