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.

Jane Hudson: BBC2 analogue was switched off permanently on 7th September 2011. BBC2 digital,now carried on MuxBBCA, changed frequency to C47. A retune of Freeview boxes and Digital TVs is required to continue watching BBC2. Remember too that on 21st September a further retune will be required as all remaining analogue TV transmitters at Emley Moor will be switched off and the rest of the digital channels will change frequency and be transmitted at high power from 6am.

Re:Mike Roberts,Wigan.No,if you're receiving Emley Moor signals then the duplicate channels you implied,BBC4,BBC Radio's 1,2,3,4,etc are still on Mux B,channel 46 until the early hours of Wednesday 21 September 2011,when from this date onwards Emley Moor finally goes all digital and these duplicate channels will all be deleted.

Jo Bailey: No, but you do need to do a "first time install" and not just a "scan for new channels" if you want your box to remember the new settings.

I have a Matsui DV3 freeview box live in the Birkby area HD2. I re-tuned on the 7th september Emley Moor transmitter. I have lost some one my channels e.g. ch3, ch4, ch5, bbc three, bbc four etc. I did do the retune that didnt work, tried reset followed instructions still did not work only 25 channels added mainly radio and channel 1, channel 2. Then i tried to add channel tune and 19 got added however ITV, ch4, ch5, bbc three, bbc four etc said re-tunning the channel would be 3 mins took longer than that about 10-15mins...but it came to blank black screen i can see on my description what programme was on (description came up) but nothing was showing! please help. Would these channels come fully on next tunning 22nd september?

The HD Mux seems to be a lot weaker than it used to be before the switchover. Not quite bad enough to cause significant picture breakup, but enough to cause the quality meter to move into the 'yellow' zone instead of 'green'.

D Gough: The signal levels have not changed, with the exception of multiplex 1 being turned off and BBCA starting up.

On Wednesday 21st September 2011 the existing four analogue and six digital services are discontinued and a few hours later the final five digital services will start at full power.
