"The Space" is on the HD mux (channel 41). New channels called '193' and '194' on those numbers, mux COM5/ArqA. Currently displaying a message saying 'adult channels have moved'.

Mike.Hard to say without a full postcode or nearby location.I just did a check on the D3+4 multiplex on frequency 44 from the main Emley Moor mast and there is no poor signal you stated as such.If anything the signal quality on that multiplex is reading 100% while the signal strength reads 71%.

Thomas,Leeds.I would look up single frequency interference.Check if any relays near your location are broadcasting on frequency 51,that may be one possibility.

Your point is correct.The 87kw restriction on ArqB from Emley Moor on frequency 48 is necessary to prevent the possible swamping of the lower powered pre-digitally switched Mux 1 10kw multiplex also currently broadcasting on frequency 48 from the Pontop Pike main transmitter.This restriction ends in the early hours of Wednesday 26 September 2012 when DSO2 is eventually completed at Pontop Pike after Mux1 is forever switched off as a result.

No,Bilsdale along with Pontop Pike and Chatton are still broadcasting analogue and low powered digital signals until DSO1 commences on Wednesday 12 September 2012 and DSO2 concludes two weeks later on Wednesday 26 September 2012.All three above North East England main transmitters switch simultaneously.

Thanks for your reason for why Emley Moor is on low power on this mux.
All the best

According to Ofcom, C48 is subject to "reactive power reduction of 87,000 Watts if
required". Does this mean that they (somehow) monitor it and if it starts to carry in to Pontop Pike's area, then they turn it down?

Dave Lindsay,
I would think that these things were all worked out prior to switchover even starting. I suppose its possible to monitor the signal power, but I doubt if Ofcom have any facilities for adjusting power output from any transmitters remotely, just the 'power' to require the operator to do this.

Sorry if I apear a bit thick are you going to tell me that the power of Emley Moor goes as far as Newcastle.I can get a very week signals from Bilsdale on the old analog,but that trasmitter is a lot closer.
all the best

David Parker: I think that it is possible that Emley Moor's signal could interfere with the Pontop Pike. This would seem to be the only logical explanation for C48 to have this restriction placed on it until the date that Pontop Pike ceases use of that channel.
The "low" power of 87kW is still very high and is higher than quite a few other main stations. So evidently it is anticipated that any potential interference would only be caused above 87kW.
