Andrew: Based on having knowledge of the Whitby area I would say that there is almost no chance of you receiving a signal from the Bilsdale transmitter anywhere around the Baxtergate level, as indeed neither can many locations somewhat higher up as you climb out of the valley and with any signal that might be received being totally erratic.
The other aspect that makes the situation worse is that Bilsdales PSB channels transmit on twice the power of the commercials, and the erratic reception I refer to is when on the PSB channels.

I have my aerial on the single storey roof. The tv is full hd and the quality is superb. However, I now realise that we will not get all the channels available. ie ITV3 and film 4 but can get gay rabbit!! style channels - seems crazy. Can I put up another aerial pointing to Bilsdale and so possibly get the other channels, although I read that reception will not be as good? I live in Guisborough

Beverley: Maybe.
The difficulty may be that the high-ground at Newton Moor has trees. This would be the crown over which you would be receiving the signal. This may or may not prove an issue and its effect may or may not be seasonal.
I suggest that you consult a professional aerial installer for an opinion as to how successful it might be.

i have a caravan on the cliff tops just to the south of whitby abbey [stoop cross]. at the moment i have a circular status caravan aerial which is giving me a lot of breakup. question can i use an ordinary tv aerial and tune in to either bilsdale or scarborough, which will give me more channels. and how many elements would the aerial need to be.please help.

steve: Being acquaint with the area that you are referring to I would not hesitate in recommending the DM Log as seen on the link, these being perfect for a multitude of applications whether it be for a caravan, boat or even just household use.

jb38 A light tap with a magazine either side of the tv with headphones plugged in breaks up the sound but not the picture. Will endeavour to check the aerial connections.

I've suddenly lost the ARQA muliplex on UHF 46 using Bilsdale on my living room aerial but I can still get it on my bedroom aerial. All of the other multiplexes are as normal. The aerial was installed in 1996, it is still in perfect condition and it has a black cap on it, so it must be a wideband aerial. I am in Peterlee and the post code is SR8 2JU.
