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.

Regarding the post I made earlier about COM7 on Channel 32 from Emley Moor. The problem has now gone away as of about 3pm, and all our freeview devices can now successfully receive this channel again.

If anybody can shed any light on what happened to cause the original loss of signal for some devices and not others, then I'd certainly appreciate it for reference in case the situation arises again.

Yes, COM7 ch32 was back to normal when I checked at 2:15pm 7/2/18 actually , I suspect it was maybe something to do with how the digital signal is identified or flagged so that receivers know how to handle it.

Yes I have to report that at 13:00 today Ch.32 was ignored by my HDR-FOX-T2 but having done nothing in the interim, at 14:00 Ch.32 was suddenly recognised with 55% signal and 100% quality. I had sent emails to both Arqiva and DigitalUK, the latter recommended by Humax, but have had no replies. The Toshiba TV at the end of the daisy-chain from the one antenna was registering 31db C/N ratio and BER 0 throughout the period for Ch.32. Yesterday I set up a temporary antenna pointing at Bilsdale and although was only 5feet above ground level the PVR resolved COM7 and COM8 with no problem on Chs 31 and 37 respectively so some odd sculduggery has been going on at Emley.

MikeP - 'TV perfect signal' didn't you read? Also the historical page links don't work on any PC I try. You always get the most recent page.

Hi, I have just lost a bunch of Emley moor programmes (714Mhz Ch51 according to your lists). It had been dodgy for a few days intermittently but has gone completely noe.
Nowhere seems to be mentioning any problems, any thoughts ?
We are on wideband roof mounted aerial no extra obstructions compared to working perfectly, no changes to house equipment.

Paul: If you can't find any reported problems at the transmitter, then logically, it must be your system. Check your cables, since a dodgy connection will cause a mux to vanish, and the fact that its been iffy for a while points to a failure.

Due to other commitments, I have sadly been unable to follow this site for some time, so I don't know if this question has been asked, please bear with me. Why, since the digital switch, do various channels experience frequent drop outs of anything between 2 and 5 seconds, and why does the sound constantly go out of 'sync' on many channels? This problem has been more apparent since the introduction of 'smart meters' for domestic installations.

Ron lake: I couldn't tell you about the sound (how are you outputting it?), but since your just 18km from the transmitter, I'd suggest looking at the 'too much of a good thing' page, because thats exactly the symptoms of too much signal strength.

Thanks Mike, It seems, on checking signal and quality, I do need attenuators. Signal and quality are currently both 100%. Sound is just from the TV speakers or headphones at night, to avoid annoyance to my neighbour. Thanks for your help.
