I have a quick question, at the moment I am living in postcode HU15 which is on the boarder between Belmont and Emley moor. My aerial is a good quality B band aerial and I get all channels fine with my aerial pointed at Emley.
After switchover it seems from the chart above I wont be able to receive C56 but should retain all the others with my aerial still at Emley.
What channels will I lose (or not get) on C56?
Thanks.

Mike Myers: You won't lose any channels because CH56 is earmarked for new local services only at some point in the future, although bear in mind this may not come about
Hope this helps,
Adam.

Mike Myers: Trade predictor charts only show what is presently known as being possible, and Ch56 isn't mentioned as its only a proposed channel and will not actually be transmitting as such at switchover, likewise knowing whether you will be able to receive it or not cant be forecast until then.

Mike Myers: The software here treats the groups as a hard cut-off. In fact, aerials still have some gain just above the official edge of the group and also just below - Ofcom have used this as part of their planning, though do note that the official edges of the aerial groups have already changed a bit, to accommodate Channel 5, so an older Group B might not work as well up at C56 than a newer one.
You can see some aerial gain graphs at ATV Stock Aerial Tests , which indicate that at least some aerials have as much gain at C56 as they do at C40.

Hello
My postcode is S25 2XS and I receive signals from Emley Moor. Since 10th August I have had no EPG data on BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 & Cebeebies, all of which, from what I have read, are on the same Mux and when I inspect channel information they all appear on channel 52. There is no problem with receipt of the channels and signal quality and strength for each hover around circa 82%.
Interestingly, 10th August is a first stage switchover date for the reasonably local Sheffield and Chesterfield transmitters but I have an aerial with horizontal panes which points directly to Emley Moor with no physical barriers in-between.
I have cleared my channels by running set up whilst the RF is disconnected and then re-run with the connection re-made in order to recreate my channel list but the problem persists.
Do any of you experts out there have any ideas what the issue may be?
Fingers crossed
Adrian Rodgers

Briantist: Hello and thank you for taking the trouble to respond. Yes, I did refresh my channel list as a first action after browsing this site for self help before posting. I had a new aerial and cabling suitable for freeview installed about a year ago in readiness for the switchover but I do have a games console installed close by my freeview/PVR box. Your link indicates that as I've lost EPG data to each channel in group 1 that may be an issue so I'll try some rearranging.
Thanks again Briantist

I was having another play about with my freeview box last night, and I have found i can get upto 47 channels from Emily more, if i cut it off at about half way through its scan. I am surprised as i thought i wouldn't be able to get so many from that distance. they are all or less watchable to, but they keep apixalting every 5 minutes. signal levels are showing an amber colour and is about 50 percent I thought i could only get about 16 here. Which is Aspull in Wigan Post code WN2 1SZ

Hello again
I stil have no EPG data on the BBC multiplexor despite completing all the checks indicated. I think I'll wait for the Emley Moor first stage switchover and hope retuning fixes it. I can still record via sky plus and, of course, manual recording on my PVR.
Thanks for the interest though, very grateful.
regards
Adrian Rodgers

Adrian Rodgers: If you are getting channels on the wrong numbers, this is most likley because the list is failing to clear itself.
I'm not sure if switchover will make much difference to a missing EPG.
Another possibility is that you are now getting signals from the Belmont or Sheffeld transmitters - see Digital Region Overlap | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - for details. If that's the case then you might be able to "work around" the problem by clearing the channel list and then adding in the six Emley Moor channels manually.
