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?

dav : Do you have a Freeview HD receiver? See What does "Full HD Ready" actually mean? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

If you DO have DVB-T2 equipment, please see Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for help.

It is hard to be more specific without a full postcode.

BBCB will be on Ch41+ from Emley Moor. What does the + denote, is it a frequency offset ?? There are also some transmitters eg:- Longwod Edge which will put out BBCB on 62-.
Also what will be the channel nombers from Emley Moor between 7-9-11 and 21-9-11.
Regards...Pete.

P Howarth: Yes, + and - denote a 166kHz ofset.

As it says above "Wednesday 7th September 2011
ITV-1 swaps to C51. BBC TWO C47 closes. BBCA starts on C47. "

P Howarth: Yes, the + indicates a positive offset of 167kHz. Your box should automatically detect this offset if you manually tune on C41. Likewise, the - indicates a negative offset of 167kHz.

These offsets are being applied to the channels bordering the regions being released, potentially for other services, to provide a small 'guard band', avoiding possible interference from those services. C41 may or may not actually get an offset, because C40 is now not being released. Sudbury, which also uses C41/C44/C47, is not using an offset on C41.

The channel numbers at Emley Moor between the 7th and 21st will be:

Analogue:

BBC One stays on C44
BBC Two shuts down
ITV1 moves to C51 replacing BBC Two
C4 stays on C41

Digital:

Mux 1 shuts down
BBC A starts up on C47 replacing ITV1
Mux A moves to C52 to release C43 for Sutton Coldfield, replacing Mux 1
Mux 2, B, C, D and low-power HD all stay on current channels (C40-, C46-, C50-, C49-, C39).

David: Only if you don't want to record or time-shift. Recording/time-shifting costs £120 per year, and it's difficult to get Sky to sell you this minimum package, they'd far rather sell you a subscription at £234 per year.

So here's a question.

I'm savvy with most things electronic (I build and fix PC's etc for a living) - what I want to know is this.

I live in Eckington (S21) - but I get (and I've always got) BBC1 Look North for the Lincolnshire region.

Any ideas why? As it's totally baffled me and it's also baffled the easily confused telephone operatives at the Digital Switchover helpline....lol

Thanks in advance.

Mick

Mick C: It is likely that you are using the Belmont transmitter for your TV reception. If the aerial points East this will be the case. To receive Look North from Leeds you would need to use Emley Moor, the most likely alternative in S21. Reception is very patchy from a number of transmitters in that general area, with more distant transmitters often providing the best signals.
