The symbol shows the location of the Belmont (Lincolnshire, England) transmitter which serves 710,000 homes. The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.
Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Belmont (Lincolnshire, England) mast?

Thanks for advice. Yes I have noticed that some antennas in the street do point to Emily Moor. however lately a lot of them have now moved over to Belmont.
I was thinking of DM Log 40 myself and I will be replacing the cable as you say will WF100 it only has to go into the loftbox approx 3m so no problem and as for height work I do it every day so no worries there.

Brian Norris: It might be worth discounting the LoftBox as being the cause, possibly through over-amplification. If there is a variable control, then try turning it down.

The PSBs are at higher power than the COMs from Belmont.
The "DM Log" and "Log 40" are different aerials.

The "DM Log" and "Log 40" are different aerials.
Yes but not sure as to the one to buy. The map above seems to show that I may be in the Darker green area (Just)

Brian Norris: A log 40 aerial is perfectly adequate for your needs and can cope perfectly OK whether it be Emley moor or Belmont, and if by any chance a slight boost is required than that will not cause any problems either, Argos item number 534 / 4235 being perfect for the job by it having a variable boost level.
I receive Belmont from about 52 miles away and via a very much less than clear signal path using an amplified DM log, plus I use two other logs for the reception of Sandy and Waltham respectively, my location being in the Stamford area.
This is a link for the item mentioned, although there is a possibly that it might not work hence why I included the item number.

Brian Norris: Just to add that what's been said / seen regarding aerial curves. It has to be kept in mind that the info seen on these charts can up to a point be taken as being academic, as it represents the results obtained when an aerial was tested under strict conditions whilst being located at one end of a test area about the size of a football field, and with the highly regulated constant RF output signal used for the test being located at the other end, this arrangement guaranteeing an even level of signal over the entire bandwidth of the channels being covered.
This, as obviously can be appreciated bears no resemblance to the reality of most situations, and where the signals from the six transmitters used for a full service Freeview service do not reach the receiving aerial with the same intensity, this being for a variety of reasons such as obstructions like trees etc along the way, as well as the fact that even without any obstructions the signal received can still be at slightly different levels because RF does not conform to what might be expected when it leaves the sources of radiation which are located at different heights on the mast.
Yagi type aerials, the more normally seen over the years, only have one active element no matter what size (length) the aerial might be, whereas on a log aerial all elements are active and that's what makes them have such an even response over the entire bandwidth, as each element is catering for a certain section of the frequencies being covered.

After TV has been on for about 15mins signal is lost on BBC1 & 2. ITV etc is OK.
Dealer told me that this is a transmitter problem which is only affecting Panasonic & Sony TVs which are about 3 to 4 years old.
How can this be and is it correct?
If so how long will it go on for?
I'm tuned to the Belmont transmitter.

Thanks.

Hi, Is Classic Radio still transmitting the TMC traffic updates in Lincolnshire from Belmont. I have not seen any updates on traffic conditions on my satnav for months?

Just manually tuned a new Humax HDR-FOX T2 after several recordings failed when auto tuned. Now unable to get HD channels (Belmont 28 / Waltham 58). What have I done wrong?!

Dave: You probably need to select DVB-T2 mode (instead of DVB-T).
