I'm a Local TV Aerial Installer and have noticed since the Retune event on the 5th that in certain areas in Dronfield the CBER readings on CH37 (ITV mux) are very bad and on the edge of Pixellation. I have reported this to Freeview.
Regards
Darren.

Thanks for your info., good luck with getting Freeview to take any notice, many have tried to report various faults to them in the past, but their front facing staff only seem to be able to tell people how to retune and they don't know the difference between "Tropospheric Ducting" and High pressure!
I have copied your post onto the the Dronfield transmitter page as well.
Also note that at the present time, the site owner has not had the chance to update the list of channels here -
From the 5th Feb.2020 the channels are C31, C37, C29, C43, C46, C40 in the order PSBs 1-3, COMs 4-6.

Further to my comment on 13th Feb, I'm fairly sure that the problem is co channel interference from the Waltham TV Transmitter which is receivable in the affected areas, the common factor being the Multiplex's on CH31 and CH37.

And it doesn't look as though the problem will "improve" any with the Waltham retune on the 4th March. C37 remaining unchanged, C31 might be worse as COM6 replaces COM7 which moves to C55.

Hello,
I would appreciate you advice.
I am thinking of putting the security cameras on the in house TV distribution system which already carries the Freeview Channels from the Chesterfield transmitter. What channel number do you suggest I set the input to in order to avoid any interference.
Thanks for your help.
David

David Levitt:
Any channel above C55 shouldn't give any problems as none are used for TV reception and they're well away from those that are. One thing to maybe watch out for is that the signal strength from your camera system isn't so strong that is "desensitises" your TV/Receiver tuners and the signal for the TV channels seems weaker.
