The symbol shows the location of the Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) transmitter which serves 1,550,000 homes. 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?

P Marsh: According to Digital UK Postcode predictor, C48 is now at 174kW (same as the other five). I assume that if it isn't already at this power (i.e. the predictor has pre-empted the increase), that it will be increased soon.

After prompted freeview re-tune this weekend, found BBC1 Leeds now replaced by Tyne Tees (Bilsdale?) equivalent on Channel One and I assume BBC2. Quality 10/10 - BBC1 Leeds now appears on channel 813, are you on reduced power?
A Near neighbour reports same problem.
Location is Morley, LS27 - no problem previously in receiving Freeview.

Hi, I live in the BD6 area of Bradford and receive my Freeview and digital radio signals from Emley Moor transmitter. Yesterday and today I have noticed a poor sound quality on BBC1 TV and on BBC Radio2. Are there any engineering works going on at the moment regarding the poor sound quality. The TV sound was distorted and the digital radio sound was breaking up. Any comment please?

AM Jones.Morley,Leeds.No Emley Moor is on normal power as far as i am aware,you may have to rescan using the manual scanning method instead of the automatic scan which obviously picked up BBCA from Bilsdale on frequency 26,the auto scan always picks up lower frequencies first.

Stuart Swaine,Bradford.Not that i am aware of,the signal quality and strength respectively on BBCA frequency 47 from Emley Moor in my locality measures 100% and 71%.I would look up single frequency interference as a likely culprit.

A.M.Jones: The Tyne Tees region is due to complete switchover tomorrow. Two weeks ago the BBC signal from Bilsdale (which is the sourthern-most Tyne Tees transmitter) switched to full power The other services remain on low pre-switchover power until tonight.
Evidently your receiver has tuned to the Bilsdale transmitter as the main one for BBC. It "may" do likewise for ITV1, C4, C5 etc. from tomorrow when a rescan is carried out.
The Bilsdale multiplexes that carry BBC and ITV are on low UHF channels (frequencies) and Emley Moor's are higher up. So have the aerial unplugged for the first 30% of the scan to miss them out.
From tomorrow, the Commercial multiplexes (those that carry ITV3, Pick TV, Dave, Film4 etc) are interleaved within the UHF channels used by Emley Moor. However, they are on lower power than the other (Public Service) channels, so may be less likely to be picked up.
The best thing is to check that your receivers are tuned correctly. Do this by bringing up the signal strength screen and checking the UHF channel it is tuned to:
PSB1 - BBC One - C47
PSB2 - ITV1 - C44
PSB3 - BBC One HD (if applicable) - C41
COM4 - ITV3 - C51
COM5 - Pick TV - C52
COM6 - Dave - C48
Those above are the channels used by Emley Moor.
From tomorrow, Bilsdale's six channels will be 26, 29, 23, 43, 46, 40. Its PSB1 is already on C26.
Refer to this page for a list of all Freeview services and which multiplex they are carried on (those that have a bullet in the "E"/England column apply):
DTG :: DTT Services by Multiplex
For example, BBC Two is also carried on PSB1. Usually there isn't a need to check other services in the same multiplex are correct.

BBC Radio 1,2,3 and 4 on my digital radio is still very distorted after retuning etc. It only started being distorted at about 11.15 this morning 25/09/12. Other programmes such as BBC Radio Leeds are fine. There must be something happening with the BBC radio stations.

My Father In law lives in the LS27 (Morley) area of Leeds.
Since the latter part of last week he has seen freezing pictures/sound issues on BBC 1 & 2
After a software upgrade and re tune of his Humax 9300 yesterday he got his BBC local from East Yorkshire/Lincs.
He has done a manual re scan again this morning (after a scan with the arial removed) and now has no BBC1 or BBC2 signal on channels 1 &2.
Is this a transmitter issue or equipment related??

Peter Hall: "East Yorkshire & Lincs" is how the Belmont transmitter identifies itself. Emley Moor's network/region ID is "Yorkshire".
Stuart Swaine has reported (above) an issue with reception of BBC channels.

Peter Hall, can I suggest you read the posting of Dave Lindsay above. It explains the thing to do if you need to scan your TV as he explains Bilsdale all-digital channels will be on much higher power, and you may need to do a manual scan! I know you said about East Yorkshire, but it still applies. Do a manual scan. I suggest.
