The symbol shows the location of the Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) transmitter which serves 1,550,000 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 Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) mast?

Hello Dave,
Living near Emley in not so sunny Huddersfield, I'm fairly certain the aerial is aimed in the right direction, so not sure about picking up other transmitters.
Slight movement of the aerial changes things somewhat, so that BBC becomes reliable, but then at the expense of several other channels.
What can be the effect of "Too higher signal level". Don't have a tuner box, but a Freeview equipped TV.

John Proctor: Follow the link I posted for information on too higher signal level. It might be worth trying a variable attentuator.
The direction that the aerial is pointing in does not necessarily have bearing on which signals a tuner decides to go with.
Even if it turns out that it isn't too higher signal level that is causing the break-up and the TV to report low signal (which can be caused by too higher signal), it might still be worth putting a bit of attentuation in there.

Presumably you mean "too high a" and not "too higher" which doesn't actually mean anything. I am bemused by the idea that the signal strength detection mechanism inside the TV or the digibox would display a strong signal as a weak signal. The ones inside my Toshiba TV, my Humax recorder and my Icecrypt digibox all just give a percentage figure.

David Mansell: You are correct, I meant "too high a signal" and rather than "too higher signal". It means that the signal going into the TV is too high for what it can cope with.
If you look into at a very bright light for which the resulting effect is that you cannot see for a while, then that is because the amount of light entering your eyes is too high a brightness than it is designed for.

I live in Bradford and have a freeview tv and ever since Wednesday 28th Dec I have lost a large amount of freeview channels. Ive done the suggest re-set/scans over the last two days but still cannot get the channels back.
Has anyone else in this area had problems?

Becky: You are indicated as only being 12 miles way from the powerful Emley Moor station and as such "if" using an outdoor aerial could be suffering from severe signal overloading, as this can partially block your tuners operation.
If you are using any type of aerial amplifier disconnect it, or for a test try using a set top aerial to see if the missing programme channels return "after" having carried out a complete (factory re-set) re-scan.
If the missing channels return by using a set top aerial, then you will require to fit an in-line attenuator to the aerial socket of your TV or box. (around £4.00 or so)

Hello again and Happy New Year.
Signal strength on our TV is indicated by a sliding bar, so no actual figures. I'm judging "strength" by the length of the sliding bar.
The most recent aerial directional adjustments now provides BBC channels, but at a loss of ITV3 and some others. The ITV3 showing on the sliding bar is over 50%, whilst other available channels indicate much lower bar readings.
Thanks for the help advice so far.

John Procter: And a "Happy new Year" to you too.
But if I could just add to what Dave Lindsay has already said insomuch that at only 8 miles away from Emley Moor you are liable to be getting blasted with signal strength from the transmitters, and when you managed to get a better picture by adjusting your aerial its not so much a case of you aiming it better, but much more likely the reverse of misaligning it which will slightly kill the reception thereby reducing the overload situation in your TV's tuner, this resulting in a better picture.
If you don't have an attenuator as yet, then try turning your aerial completely in reverse, i.e: pointing away from the station, as that will "slightly" kill the signal but do it evenly, so rather than pointing it E/SE (119 degrees) for Emley point it W/NW (300 degrees)
By the way Ch51 (SDN/ITV3 etc) is indicated as running at lower power (123Kw) until the 31st of the month, likewise Ch53 (ArqA/ Pick TV, Dave etc) on 87Kw, so make allowances for this difference in readings you might see.

John Procter: Meant to also add that you have to beware carrying out an auto-tune in your area as Halifax as well as Belmont are shown as being highly possible to receive, and with both these stations using lower channel numbers than Emley your sets tuner could well lock onto them thereby pushing Emleys channels up in the 800 ranges.
Emley using: Ch47 - Ch44 - Ch41(HD) - Ch51 - Ch52 - Ch48
If you have any doubts as to where you are receiving from go into the signal check screen "whilst on the channel", and you should see the channel number listed associated with the strength indication.
