Mark,

I really have no idea about the aerial. I just moved in and I don't particularly want to bother the letting agents any more right now, plus they are pretty useless. It's an apartment building in LS1 5RW.

Thanks,

Jon

Well, I should say I guess I'm almost certain the aerial is on the roof. I'm plugged into the existing socket in the apartment.

Jon: *ALL* transmitters will have the public serivce multiplexes, so you will get Freeview HD, BBC, ITV and Channel 4 and Channel 5 definity. If the aerial, wherever it is, points at Emley Moor, which is more likely than not, you will get all the services next week.

Jon: See PARAS - Professional Aerial Riggers Against The Sharks for advice on communal aerial systems. It's possible the system will have to be retuned and recalibrated after switchover completes, as the channels used are different and digital needs much cleaner amplification than analogue, where a digital service takes over a frequency from an analogue one.

Apologies for not being clear at all, I do currently get a ton of digital channels, including those listed under (A) (I've definitely seen Challenge). Just definitely not receiving (2) or (PSB3).

Thanks for the replies.

I live in north Sheffield, not far from the Crosspool mast, but I can hardly anything off that.

Fortunately, the house is on a Northern-facing slope, and I must have almost line of sight of Emley Moor. Just with an (upstairs) indoor aerialI get a very strong signal on all the Emley Moor frequencies (channels 40, 46, 49, 50, 52), usually 100%.

I don't get any "too strong signal" problems - either on my Humax or on my cheapo LG telly. All the channels have a quality from about 80% up to 100%).

BUT in the last day or so, the quality on channel 40 (only) keeps dropping to about 5% (completely blocky picture), then pops back up to normal. The signal strength is still nice and high. There's nothing on the websites about engineering work. Any ideas ?

PS

Anyone doing manual tuning and having trouble finding programmes on Emley Moor Channel 47 (Beeb 1 etc) ??? Just be patient, for some reason it takes much longer (two or three minutes) for my LG telly to get programmes off this channel than all the others.

Addition to my last (too long) post.

As you will deduce from the PS in my last post, Channel 47 should have been on the list of pre-21Sep Emley Moor channels I have successfully manually tuned (40,43,47,49,50,52).
