Mike Davidson:
What signal strength does your TV set report for that channel? Com 7 is usually a weaker signal than the PSB and Coms 4, 5 ,and 6. So the signal may be too weak for the Humax but just sufficient for the Toshiba TV.
Historical pages back to Page 1 are available, look at the line of numbers below the postings.

I am unable to receive channels on COM7 ch32 on my two SONY tv`s and one HUMAX freeview box, though I have another HUMAX freeview box (different model) which does receive COM7 ch32 perfectly. I have tried two different aerials and retuned and replaced connecting coax cables but still the same problem exists. It seems that the two SONY TV`s and one HUMAX box are recognising the signal as DVB-T2 at all.All other channels are good, I have excellent signal as I live in line of site and only a few miles away from the Emley Moor mast. The problem has only recently occured, all channels have been working fine for years previously

Along the same lines as the recent posts from Mike Davison and G Hadley, we are now suddenly experiencing problems with COM7 on Channel 32 from Emley Moor. We have a recent Panasonic TV and not so recent Humax Fox-T2 that now can't handle Channel 32, having both been able to do so previously without problem. We also have a TalkTalk YouView box which can still handle Channel 32 without any issue whatsoever.
The Panasonic and Humax devices don't seem to register a recognisable signal at all on Channel 32 at the moment, whereas the TalkTalk box is happy with it and shows an unwavering 100% signal quality.
I was starting to wonder if weather conditions had taken the signal out of tolerance for the Panasonic and Humax receivers, but the TalkTalk box's complete lack of problem with the channel, and G Hadley's post as someone in an excellent reception area, make me think this is unlikely.
It seems more likely that some receivers aren't able to handle the signal coming from Emley Moor on Channel 32 at the moment i.e. the receivers aren't able to handle a signal that they should be able to handle, or Emley Moor is somehow transmitting a non-compliant or obscure signal. I admit the second of these sounds remarkably unlikely.
Any advice and/or pointers would be much appreciated.

Regarding the post I made earlier about COM7 on Channel 32 from Emley Moor. The problem has now gone away as of about 3pm, and all our freeview devices can now successfully receive this channel again.
If anybody can shed any light on what happened to cause the original loss of signal for some devices and not others, then I'd certainly appreciate it for reference in case the situation arises again.

Yes, COM7 ch32 was back to normal when I checked at 2:15pm 7/2/18 actually , I suspect it was maybe something to do with how the digital signal is identified or flagged so that receivers know how to handle it.

Yes I have to report that at 13:00 today Ch.32 was ignored by my HDR-FOX-T2 but having done nothing in the interim, at 14:00 Ch.32 was suddenly recognised with 55% signal and 100% quality. I had sent emails to both Arqiva and DigitalUK, the latter recommended by Humax, but have had no replies. The Toshiba TV at the end of the daisy-chain from the one antenna was registering 31db C/N ratio and BER 0 throughout the period for Ch.32. Yesterday I set up a temporary antenna pointing at Bilsdale and although was only 5feet above ground level the PVR resolved COM7 and COM8 with no problem on Chs 31 and 37 respectively so some odd sculduggery has been going on at Emley.

MikeP - 'TV perfect signal' didn't you read? Also the historical page links don't work on any PC I try. You always get the most recent page.

Hi, I have just lost a bunch of Emley moor programmes (714Mhz Ch51 according to your lists). It had been dodgy for a few days intermittently but has gone completely noe.
Nowhere seems to be mentioning any problems, any thoughts ?
We are on wideband roof mounted aerial no extra obstructions compared to working perfectly, no changes to house equipment.

Paul: If you can't find any reported problems at the transmitter, then logically, it must be your system. Check your cables, since a dodgy connection will cause a mux to vanish, and the fact that its been iffy for a while points to a failure.

Due to other commitments, I have sadly been unable to follow this site for some time, so I don't know if this question has been asked, please bear with me. Why, since the digital switch, do various channels experience frequent drop outs of anything between 2 and 5 seconds, and why does the sound constantly go out of 'sync' on many channels? This problem has been more apparent since the introduction of 'smart meters' for domestic installations.
