Briantest, Thomas,
Thanks for your comments re my sound issues on a new Panasonic TV I posted back on 22 April.
Panasonic have now come back toem and advised they are releasing a software download fix from mid May which they claim will cure it. fingers crossed we can then watch HD without issues.

I live in between Otley and Harrogate. In the past I've experienced intermittent prblems with freeview (BBC channels in particular). Things have been good until about 3 weeks ago. Checked out cables, aerial etc. All fine. Emley Moor strengths have definitely changed somehow, with poor quality reception on Film 4 mux too. Very frustrating. Now weather's changed I was hoping for improvement given earlier posts, but to no avail. I just wish somebody official, who works on the mast, would take time to let us all know when and how work is being done, or for someone to check relays etc that could be creating issues. I simply don't believe that nothing has changed and the issues are down to individuals' set-ups.

Frustrated, sorry to hear about your problems with Emley Moor Mast. But here in the village of Bramham I have not detected very little significant change in my reception of Emley Moor Mast. My location group is 3 miles south of Wetherby. I know you say it is nothing to do with individual circumstances but here at my location I receiver all multiplexes all the time so maybe there has been some changes?

I'm still getting poor reception on Mux 1 on most days now. It seems to be getting worse and was particularly bad during the day this weekend with no signal at all, and in the evening it was barely watchable but with multiple glitches per minute. Anyway... I noticed the other day that if I zoom in the reception map to where I live then there seems to be a small blank square right over my house! However, these blank squares are very regular in their positioning. Is this just due to a quirk in the way the site maps the expected signal quality or are there really that many regularly spaced areas where the signal is very poor? As an example (NOT my own postcode) look at the map for LS25 2JQ. Click the "+" button 5 times, then you'll see a map with four blank squares (the top right being over "Sturton Grange" and bottom left close to "Little Preston"). If you scroll the map up, down or right these blocks continue to appear with regularity. Can anyone explain? Am I just doomed because I live inside one of those tiny blank squares even though the land is flat for miles around?

pam: I would think you would be best advised to plug your old Freeview box back in and use it with your new TV, at least until switchover.
