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?

Hi Briantist, thanks for this. I've been following your blog for several months and already tried all the things you've suggested. Nothings changed with my set up or kit in recent weeks/months so I've no idea what's going on and can only still assume it's external? Just have to hope that it all comes right in September, (and may go back to Freesat in the nmeantime!). Thanks anyway. Fraser.

I live in Cleckheaton and am getting seriously fed up with the signal, or lack of it it on any channel other than a BBC one. Has anyone got an explanation. We have a BT Vision box. It was OK when we first moved to the house but since Feb it has got steadily worse & worse.

Receiving Freeview from Emley Moor and located between Scunthorpe & Doncaster using a TV with Freeview and HD Freeview built in. Sound on HD channels fine for first few minutes then it is like it is trying to keep the same sound levels, i.e. when a main character stops speaking the background noise rises up to the same level and then immediately subdues when character starts speaking again. No sign of pixelation, or any issues on Freeview channels just HD. Is this due to low signal strength, and likely to clear in September?

Rod: This can't have anything at all to do with "low signal strength". Sounds like a settings problem with your TV set or amplifier.

I find that the HD channels from Emley are much quieter than their equivalent SD versions. What you describe sounds like some kind of automatic gain control in your TV; if this is the case there should be some setting to turn it off.
In a few movies I recorded from the HD channels over Easter, there are huge variations in the sound level... sometimes I have to have the volume up to almost maximum to hear anything, then suddenly it booms out and I need to turn it down! I don't have any kind of volume correction or auto-gain set on my TV.

We all know wind can interfere with Freeview reception by blowing the aerial around, but is it normal to have different channels affected in different ways? For example, the HD Mux from Emley Moor (C39) doesn't seem to be affected by the wind unless it's really strong. However, one of the other muxes (C43) seems to be extremely sensitive - one tiny bit of wind, and channels such as Challenge pixellate or sometimes say No Signal.
Is this something to do with transmission power or mode?
(Sorry to double post but it wouldn't let me edit my previous one)

Thomas: I would have thought you probably have some form of dry joint, and the cable is being moved by the wind. As you should get all services at full power, and I presume you have looked at Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice I would suggest you replace the cable from the aerial with new satellite-grade cable.

Thomas: One of the reasons for switching to the 8K mode, from 2K, for the SD multiplexes at switchover is that it is more robust to certain sorts of interference. The HD multiplex is transmitted using the new 32K mode in DVB-T2, so if you're suffering from narrow-band interference or from impulse interference, the HD mux may well handle it better.

Since last friday my Freeview Mux 1 signal strength has dropped from 100% to around 40-70% causing pixelation. All other channels absolutely fine. It has been perfectly OK since the engineering work was concluded months ago.
I have been through all the checks, re-tunes etc. but no change.
I live in York with my aerial pointed at Emley Moor.
Any idea why?
