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?

Thanks for the various inputs.

The nub of it all, which was all we really needed to know was that the channels that were previously on C51/52 like Dave channel are now on C33

I have retuned C33 and my stations are now restored.

Whilst I appreciate there are a lot of techies out there working in the field it must be remembered that ordinary domestic folk don't converse in the same language. Your average Freeview box will always talk in terms of Channels like C48, C51 etc so when providing info you simply need to tell people which channels have moved to which new channels.

In this case the earlier posted told me that the channels 51/52 had been moved, but failed to state simply where to.

All I needed to do was retune the specific channels that were new (e.g. C33)

It would be helpful if the details at the top of the webpage could be kept uptodate so domestic viewers had a quick and simply list of which programmes were on which channels.

Aside from that thanks for all your help

Arthur

I retuned as advised on the 5 February 2020 and tried again today 7 February. The multiplexes 47, 44 and 48 have installed, but 51 and 52 have not. I am therefore short of several tv and radio stations. Why?
I receive the Emley Moor transmissions at my home DN3 2JZ. I have a Humax PVR-9300T.
I thank you, in anticipation, for your help.
Brian Day.

@BrianDay

Get your box to manually tune in Channel 33 that's where those stations have moved to

I have already referred him to a full list of Emley Moor's channels in my post on p217 at 7.48pm on the 5th November which I might add was in response to you. Perhaps you missed it - again?

Richard caywood:

So how's your reception been going? There was some tropospheric propagation several days ago which may have disrupted your reception at the time, but things should now be back to normal.

So what's the news on the filter?
So where did this Dion box come from?
I'm not sure where you multiplex "identification" is coming from, but some of them are not as the list I've posted. Upstairs (all appear to be Bilsdale) you appear to be missing PSB3 (HD) - C27, yet you have COMs 7&8 (HD) C55 & C56 but you have the IDs mixed up with the Local mux on C30.
Downstairs apart from PSBs 1 & 2 (from Bilsdale), you have COMs 4-6 & Local from Emley! but you have the IDs mixed up, COMs 4-6 are C33, C36, C48 and the Local is C39.

So you appear to have quite a strong signal there from Emley and must be picking it up on one of the aerial responses side-lobes!

Reception is holding good despite the crap weather.
No news is good news on the Ch. 60 at800 filter. Not arrived as yet.

I decided to try a different Freeview box, too see what signal and quality I would get.
For the mux channels I can only give u what I pick up from channel Freqs.
for both upstairs and downstairs.
It's still holding for now 94% signal and 84% quality despite the weather that is.

Can I pick people's brains since I'm an a qualified electrician, despite the laws and regulations on electronic frequencies, but is it common practice to use wire mess over all electrical outlet. Plugs, switches etc.
Reason for asking is that I spoke to an electrician about this and the results are staggering.
He says due to what they have done by using pvc coving over all electrical outlet this is why the electrical interference. There is no shielding to stop the electrical interference and this I am now stuck with with what he says dead spots. ( Dead zones)
Can this be true as it fits with the problem at hand to what I am experiencing
