I Live in York YO32 5TE.
Came back from holiday. My BBC1 channel will only give me Newcastle Look North reception. We used to get local York, Leeds Look North.
What can I do to change??

We live about 1 mile from the Emley Moor transmitter (and have a line of sight view of it from our window!) - we live in a new house and have a brand new ariel with an integrated splitter/amplifier.
Signal strength/quality on the BBC channels is perfect, but signal quality on the ITV channels and Channel 4 etc generally very poor (strength is ok) with a tendency for the picture to break up and become blocky. Its the same on all TVs running off the splitter. Sometimes it is watchable but more often than not it isn't.
Any thoughts? Pretty frustrating being so close to the transmitter with a brand new setup, getting a perfect signal on some channels and an unusable one on others!

Read many years ago when Emley Moor first brought into service that Emley village could not recieve the transmision as the signal went over their heads.
Something was done back then to help.

David: Do you mean the original mast, the one that fell down in cold weather in 1969?

Mark, if you live only 1 mile from the transmitter and can actually SEE it, you should not need an amplifier at all. A non-powered splitter should do the job. You may be getting too MUCH signal, which can cause problems similar to too little signal.
If you can't change the amplifier/splitter, you may need to install an attenuator to reduce the signal level.

Thomas - the TV is definitely saying that signal quality is very poor on ITv/C4 - I have tried an attenuator as I thought this might be the problem - it just made it worse!!
BBC has 80% strength and 100% quality and the picture is perfect. ITV/C4 strength is about 70% but quality is barely 20%. I would have thought that if there was a problem with the equipment I wouldn't get such a good signal from the BBC.
Looking at the various MUX above, it does say that 2 and A are low and very low but it seems outrageous that I can't get a good enough signal so close to the mast!!!

Do you think your getting CH 22 from Belmont for the BBC stations?
(As we are just a little north of you.).

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but why are different frequencies more sensitive to the wind blowing the aerial around? Analogue BBC1 and Channel 4 hold up well even when there's wind. ITV1 has variable ghosting in the wind, and BBC2 is the worst - i get a complete loss of picture even with light wind!
After switchover, when the muxes move to the old analogue frequencies, maybe they will also suffer from dropouts? SDN, which gets BBC2's old frequency, might be the worst affected for me...

Mark Harrison - just a thought but the 64QAM channels may be more susceptible to multipath reception which is possible at your location if there are any good size buildings further away from the mast but sending a comparable signal to your direct signal by reflection as they could be better illuminated. In that case it may be advantageous to point your antenna at the reflection so long as the source is going to be permanent. Checking your analogue reception(while you can) may show up ghosting so this could be the issue.
