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?

The UHF channels now used at Emley have been explained in several recent posts, but in particular see my post at 7:48pm on the 5th Feb. on p217 here.

@BrianDay
Get your box to manually tune in Channel 33 that's where those stations have moved to

I have already referred him to a full list of Emley Moor's channels in my post on p217 at 7.48pm on the 5th November which I might add was in response to you. Perhaps you missed it - again?

So how's your reception been going? There was some tropospheric propagation several days ago which may have disrupted your reception at the time, but things should now be back to normal.
So what's the news on the filter?
So where did this Dion box come from?
I'm not sure where you multiplex "identification" is coming from, but some of them are not as the list I've posted. Upstairs (all appear to be Bilsdale) you appear to be missing PSB3 (HD) - C27, yet you have COMs 7&8 (HD) C55 & C56 but you have the IDs mixed up with the Local mux on C30.
Downstairs apart from PSBs 1 & 2 (from Bilsdale), you have COMs 4-6 & Local from Emley! but you have the IDs mixed up, COMs 4-6 are C33, C36, C48 and the Local is C39.
So you appear to have quite a strong signal there from Emley and must be picking it up on one of the aerial responses side-lobes!

Reception is holding good despite the crap weather.
No news is good news on the Ch. 60 at800 filter. Not arrived as yet.
I decided to try a different Freeview box, too see what signal and quality I would get.
For the mux channels I can only give u what I pick up from channel Freqs.
for both upstairs and downstairs.
It's still holding for now 94% signal and 84% quality despite the weather that is.

Can I pick people's brains since I'm an a qualified electrician, despite the laws and regulations on electronic frequencies, but is it common practice to use wire mess over all electrical outlet. Plugs, switches etc.
Reason for asking is that I spoke to an electrician about this and the results are staggering.
He says due to what they have done by using pvc coving over all electrical outlet this is why the electrical interference. There is no shielding to stop the electrical interference and this I am now stuck with with what he says dead spots. ( Dead zones)
Can this be true as it fits with the problem at hand to what I am experiencing

Whilst that is true, about no "shielding" most electrical interference actually travels up the cable to the affected equipment, there isn't that much "radiation" from most cables. There will be some, but because most cables have the L & N in them, they are "balanced" because the current going down the neutral is the same as the current coming up the live, so cancelling each other out from a radiation point of view. The recommendation is to try and not have other "signal" cables running parallel to mains cable and ideally more than 6 inches away from them.
Personally I don't think your issues are "electrical" interference as such. It does seem to be a problem that seems twofold, one to do with mobile interference from stuff that is operating in the 800MHz band (ie. above Channel 60). I think the other part of the problem is just simply signal overload - too much signal (whether it be received DTV signal or mobile is difficult to be sure), but the question as to why this happened as a result of the re-wire remains unsolved at present.
A thought did occur to me a while back, but I didn't want to complicate the picture at the time. You said your aerial is mounted on a pole which is wall mounted. When they re-wired, did they by any chance fix an earth bonding wire to the base of the pole?
Gong back to the DTV your are picking up, it's not the UHF channels that I query, it's the name given to them ie. downstairs you say eg. you have coms 4 uhf ch36 & coms 5 uhf ch33 when they are the other way about - ch33 is com4 and ch36 is com5.
Also coms 6/7 uhf ch48 and coms 8 uhf ch 39 when com6 is ch48, com7 is ch55, com8 is ch56 and ch.39 is a Local mux.

Just to be crystal clear, when I talk about too much signal, I'm talking about what is getting to the set(s), NOT what is being picked up at the aerial.
