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?

A.A.Wright: Sometimes, even though an aerial points to a particular transmitter (Emley Moor in this case), it picks up the signal from another transmitter as well and sometimes when this happens a TV can decide to go with the signal from the other transmitter.
In this particular case, a workaround to avoid it picking up the wrong signal (from Belmont) is to run the automatic tuning with the aerial unplugged and then plug it in when it gets to 25%. That way the aerial is unplugged when it is scanning frequencies used by Belmont and plugged in for those used by Emley Moor.

A.A.Wright: Whether your friend can receive the preferred news service really depends on which transmitter the aerial is pointing to on the housing complex. If it is pointing at Emley Moor (NNW, with rods set horizontal) or Crosspool (roughly SE with rods set vertical), there should be no problem, it is just a matter of the TV being tuned to the correct frequency. As a matter of interest check in the 800s of the channel list on your friend's TV to look for additional versions of BBC1. It is likely that the South Yorkshire variant will be found there. There might even be a BBC East Midlands as reception is also shown as possible from Waltham at your friend's location. To get the correct set of frequencies tuned in the best way is to clear the channel list, then tune in manually the set of frequencies for the transmitter that the aerial is pointing to. An alternative method is to start the scan with the aerial unplugged to miss out C22, which is the unwanted Belmont frequency for Lincolnshire, then plug the aerial back in before your local frequencies are found. If Emley Moor this means about C38; however if Crosspool is the transmitter of choice it would mean having the aerial unplugged for C22, but plugged in for C24, and also C21 if it is an HD receiver, so is a bit trickier to achieve.

A.A.Wright: Following KMJ,Derby's posting I had a look at the home in question and there are two aerials on the roof (mounted at the highest point). One is definately on Emley Moor and the other is probably on the Sheffield transmitter (it's difficult to be 100% looking at Streetview photographs).
If it is the Emley Moor aerial that is being used, then carry out the procedure I outlined above (run scan with aerial unplugged until it gets to 25%).
If it is Sheffield that is being used, then that is more tricky because its signals are around the same frequency as those used by Belmont (the transmitter that your friend doesn't want). Thus, it's far more tricky to do a workaround by plugging in and unplugging the aerial lead and manual tuning might be the only option.

All of a sudden Freeview BBC channels on my TVs downstairs and upstairs have stopped working or are very scrambled. Reception has been fine up to now. Our aerial is in the loft. Some channels work perfectly, some are slightly scrambled and as I said BBC channels are terrible

Lindsey Towler, I am almost in Featherstone and getting all channels very well on an old hifi radio loop. In Wakefield you are very close to a powerful transmitter. If you have any amplifier attached, (you say ALL tv's, which you may be running from a powered splitter), this really must be turned off or you will be getting too much signal. If you supply your full postcode, the very nice and helpful people who maintain this site will be able to help you further.

I have just discovered through your site that engineering works are taking place at Emley Moor.
In the run up to the digital switchover you transmitted messages about when the changeover was taking place.
Why can warning messages about engineering work be transmitted in the same way, instead of people wondering why their tv signal has disappeared.
