David,
I am pleased to hear that it has now been upgraded to the same power as the others. I am, at the moment, sorting out my gear between redecorating, as everything in this bungalow has changed. I am running the downline from my rooftop aerial through the loft to feed three rooms, easy peasy, no floors to lift. Finally my TV's can be wall mounted.

We have just moved to a HD8 postcode yet the free view box only picks up a bad signal from North East and not Yorkshire tv! How do we connect the freeview box to receive a signal from Emley Mast??
| link to this comment |
Joanne Lomas: The answer as to the cause may be due to the fact that the Bilsdale transmitter (which carries Tyne Tees/North East programming) uses lower channels/frequencies than Emley and is therefore picked up first during the scan. If, having done the scan, the receiver simply goes with the first it found, then maybe that explains why it goes with Bilsdale.
There is a simple way around it and that is to have the aerial lead unplugged for the first 30% of the scan so as to have it out for Bilsdale and in for Emley.

Joanne Lomas: If, having tuned it to Emley Moor, you still have difficulty, then your receiver could perhaps be being overloaded due to too high a signal level brought about by its close proximity to the transmitter. See:
Freeview signals: too much of a good thing is bad for you | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice
It may also be worth checking that it is tuned to Emley Moor by viewing the signal strength screen whilst on each of the following and ensuring that the tuned UHF/RF channel number (frequency) is that of Emley:
PSB1 | BBC One | C47
PSB2 | ITV1 | C44
PSB3 | BBC One HD (if applicable) | C41
COM4 | ITV3 | C51
COM5 | Pick Tv | C52
COM6 | Film4 | C48

Hi for months now both my tvs(one has freeview already in it. The other a freeview box. The channels freeze consantly,on both, im not even sure how to see whether its emley point etc. When we auto tune it stops at 57% and wont go any further, please help, its stressing me out, btw the freezing is even worse during adverts.

barbara jackson: As far as an autotune stopping at 57% is concerned you should carry out a complete reset on the TV or box in question, this generally referred to as "factory reset" or "default setting" etc, alternatively you might see "first time installation" as these names are dependant on the manufacturers definition.
As you haven't provided a location, this being in the form of a post code or one from nearby, then its not possible to check on the signal levels expected at your location.

During the last week or so channel 52 has become impossible to receive. I have tried retuning Auto and manual with no luck. All other channels and strengths ok. No signal strength showing on ch52. I live at Hambleton near Selby. Anyone else having problems?
