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?

i'm not sure if this issue is just me or not but the past two days i've been getting random glitching just on PSB3 (main hd channels)
where it would glitch quite badly or even drop out yet for a few seconds and at the same time i would normally be recording from COM7 (other hd mux)or PSB1 (sd channels) and they wouldn't have the same issue which i do find is quite odd.
yesterday it happened between 9:40pm to 10:10pm (16/12) and to it seems to of happen just before 10pm and again around 10:30pm (17/12)
is anyone else able to confirm this please?

Adrian: I'd start with signal levels - are they bery high on the glitchy channels?
And a postcode would be helpful...

the signal levels have been the same which both are around ~90% with very little to no issues for the past 2-3 years also the postcode is dn4 5bp (doncaster) and also i said this as only started to be this badly for the past two days

We live in postcode area HD9 2SP and have been having intermittent reception problems with terrestrial Freeview over the past 3 days - occasional pixellation during a broadcast. We get the same problems on all TVs installed in the house, and have experienced these problems before - I have always assumed that this was due to unusual weather conditions, however our area is shown on the Emley transmitter map as having weaker reception (we live in a valley just out of direct line of sight to the Emley transmitter). Is there anything we can do to eliminate these occasional problems?

Michael: Unfortunately I would have to say that in my experience there isn't, as reception in situations such as yours of residing in a slight valley which is just under the line of sight from a high powered transmitter located at only around 6 miles or so away is frequently responsible for a viewer experiencing this type of problem, as the signal path running close to the surface of the terrain is vulnerable to fluctuations caused by the changing reflective properties of the terrain, especially so if trees or other vegetation is involved, atmospheric related reasons also playing a role.
That said, it all depends on what you observe if you carry out a signal strength / quality check, as another possible (although less so) reason for your problem could be that the signal strength your TV's are running at is a tad on the high side, but with the level occasionally jumping up now and again resulting in intermittent overloading of the tuner, the effect of being exactly the same as that experienced with an intermittent weak signal.
You should carry out a signal check on BBC1 and also ITV1 and give an update on the results, observing the levels being indicated for around a minute each and making a note of any fluctuations seen, especially if of a more severe nature.

We have been getting appalling digital TV signal on ITV, Channels 4 and 5, More 4 etc for the past week or so on one of our TVs. All BBC Channels are perfect. This is only happening on one TV in the house, and the aerial is networked to 4 TVs in the house. Can anybody please help or suggest anything please??
Our postcode is HD8 9BE and we can see Emley Moor from our house - we have restrictors installed because the signal is too strong.

carol: You say you have attenuator(s) in place (which you refer to as "restrictors"). Perhaps you need to increase your level of attenuation further.
Go to the manual tuning page and enter/select UHF channel 44, but don't press the button to scan/add services. Observe it for a minute or two. If the strength is seen to be high one moment and keep jumping down to low then that could be because the signal level is OTT.
Try pulling the aerial lead out and holding the plug within a centimetre or two. This might "loose" some of the strength. If it stabilises then it could indicate too high a signal level.
If you are feeding 4 ways by a powered booster then attenuation should go before it and not after it. In any case, with such a strong signal you will probably be able to split it four ways with no powered booster (and still potentially require additional attenuation).

Dave Lindsay:
It's worth noting that if a passive splitter is used then all the outputs need to be connected to the input of a tuner all the time or have a 'dummy' load connected. This because a splitter is designed so that the impedances of inputs and outputs remain at 75 Ohms to ensure proper matching and that can only be maintained with all outputs having the correct 75 Ohms load connected. Leaving just one output unconnected will give rise to unexpected results and may cause partial or total loss of reception being reported.
That was a problem in analogue days and seems to be worse, or at least more critical, with digitally encoded signals - perhaps because of the way the decoding is performed.
