marjory: Is it possible to check the reception of analogue BBC2 on C51? If you are missing MuxC on C50- and Mux1 on C52+ it is worth looking for a possible problem with reception of nearby frequencies. A faulty booster oscillating or overloading the signal around C51 is a possibility. On the other hand trees in leaf or a poor connection causing the highest frequencies to become weak spring to mind. If all frequencies were affected or reduced power working was in place (although no engineering work is listed) I would have expected MuxA to be affected first.

Live in BD19 area and want to know if any works are going on at present as we have had to re-scan our BT Vision box today and lost a lot of channels. Digital Switchover is causing us no end of trouble, we have not been able to watch most channels for weeks, we had full signal strength on all channels when we had them but poor signal quality on all channels other than BBC and it is getting really annoying. Does anyone know where we can get a refund on our TV licence?? as we can not get a full service?

Joanna: There is no refund on the tv licence if you are able to receive any channels at all.You said you are able to receive the BBC channels which are the only ones paid for by the tv licence. Remember too that in unswitched areas the analogue service is regarded as the one you are expected to receive, the Freeview channels are a bonus. After switchover the PSB transmitters are expected to cover the former analogue service area, with the COM muxes regarded as a bonus which are expected to serve an area at least as good as the low power Freeview service.

I live in the village of Bramham ,
just to the east of the A1(M).Around about 24
miles N East of Emley Moor and if I put in my Postcode I am told Bilsdale TX is best.So having said that, I get all SD multiplexes ok Q 100% S 60 to 70% (most of time),odd times strength does reduce some time.but most of time ok 98 per cent. Can also receive HD also ok, in fact in last week or so HD Q&S as gone up a little.all that from EMLEY MOOR.So if there as any reductions in signal,it as not shown up to me.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
Having had a search around, I also note that Mux D is also on reduced signal. So that's at least Muxes 1, A & D affected in the last 8 days or so. It seems to vary throughout the day. I hope I can watch Dr Who tonight!

Re. KJM's suggestion of checking analogue BBC2 (C51), I've just done that - it is quite poor on my TV, a bit ghosty and snowy. BBC1 (C44) is the best and is comparable to Channel 4 (C41). ITV (C47) is not as good as BBC1+C4, but not as bad as BBC2. Channel Five (C37) is also very good. Does that give any further clues? Freeview BBC1 is very bad as I'm writing this but unlike Majory my Mux C channels (well, just tried Dave and DaveJaVu) are okay at the moment. Hadn't tried them for a few weeks.

Can anyone give any suggestions as to how we can get back our full channel range or are we going to have to wait for digital switchover to happen????? We have re-scanned the box but each time we loose more than we gain. We have 100% signal strength but poor signal quality and it's getting worse
