dave.LS2 8AR.Your postcode denotes Crown Plaza in or out of Leeds city centre,and as you stated the aerial is vertical polarisation which Steve of Leeds points out that you're receiving the Beecroft Hill relay transmissions which is a light relay broadcasting three mux's BBCA,D3+4,BBCB and a future fourth mux local some time in the near future.Are Crown Plaza low/high-rise flats/apartments,and if so is the aerial fitted externally (communal type possibly) or do you have an aerial for yourself either an external one or an internal set-top type.If the external antenna is communal,then you will need your landlords consent to have it realigned,if yours then you can if you wish realign it yourself to receive either Emley Moor or possibly Belmont (polarisation will have to be changed to horizontal to receive the before mentioned main transmitters above).Just one note,if you decide to pick up Belmont as a last resort,first two of their mux's ArqA on ch 53 and ArqB on ch 60 both currently on 4kw (both increasing to 100kw after Wed 23 Nov 2011),is for now out of reach until Tacolneston switches over fully on Wed 23 November 2011 due to frequencies 53 & 60 there currently clashing with each other.Secondly Belmont broadcasts BBC1 East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire news bulletins,as well as ITV1 Calendar (East) with more East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire matters.If you did decide to opt for Belmont as a last resort,best bet is to wait until after Wed 23 Nov 2011,when Tacolneston becomes all digital and the two currently understrength Belmont mux's ArqA & ArqB increases in power up to 25 times from that date onwards.

Since change over to digital only signal I tend to suffer from screen freeze and from "no or weak signal". This never happened with the old system.
Improvement means rubbish service,,,,,,AGAIN

John Thorndike: The Digital Uk postcode checker shows you are predicted to have excellent reception from Emley Moor on all six muxes. Check that the correct set of channels have been stored, as it is possible that weaker signals from Bilsdale or Belmont were found first during the scan and those channels stored in the "normal" positions in the channel list. If so, Emley moor channels might be stored in the 800s. If this is not the problem, do you have amplification ( a booster) on the aerial? If you do, there might be too much signal following switchover, this results in an apparent weak signal/ poor quality being indicated. If removal of the booster or turning down the gain is not possible, fit an attenuator in the aerial feed to deliver a usable signal strength.

Why can we only get a limited range of channels from Shatton Edge? I particularly wanted Skye sports 1 and 2.

Do you have any plans to improve the service?

Stephen Platt: Not really! as its a three multiplex Freeview "Light" Public services only station because of the commercial interests not being willing to contribute towards the running costs of additional multiplexes, basically due to the small area covered / population involved not making it a viable proposition for them as far as returns are concerned.

These type of stations are dotted everywhere throughout the UK.

I have an issue with one receiver freezing, when two others that are connected to the same aerial do not.

My Sony RDR-HXD870 freezes I estimate on average every five or ten minutes on C51 (less often on others). Yet the Panasonic TU-CT41 and Hauppauge TV USB dongle don't.

The Hauppauge software has a signal monitor with it and it shows how many errors. When the Sony breaks-up, no errors (correctable or uncorrectable) are shown by the Hauppauge software.

The devices are connected by short 1.5m leads so are not far apart. The Sony does it when it's the only device turned on.

Does the fact that two devices work fine suggest that the aerial and downlead are fine in my location?


The aerial is a 10 element contract wideband fitted in the loft. The downlead is a 10m long crappy coax (silver foil screen with 8 silver conductors!).

It was a DIY purchase from Argos around 15 years ago and has worked perfectly picking up DTT pre-DSO.

I know that it's a poor aerial, but could it be the cause of one receiver having problems when two others don't (on the same channel at the same time)?


I have tried attentuation and it makes no difference. Signal strength given by the Sony (without attentuation) varies between muxes: 70% to 92%

Dave Lindsay,Doncaster.I take it your aerial is horizontally polarised,and if so is it pointed towards Emley Moor,or Belmont.The reason pardon my inquisition is that Doncaster where you reside can receive either Emley Moor or Belmont transmissions.Firstly you stated that your contract group W wideband aerial is inferior,i suggest you replace it in due course for a much superior aerial.ATV (Aerials & Television) of Sheffield,are a highly recommended aerial retailer who only sell superior quality aerials in all groups A,B,C/D,K,E,W (dependent on the mast concerned),don't bother buying a new aerial from Argos,B&Q,Wickes or any other DIY store,nor the likes of Labgear,Philex,Maxiview,etc,they're all cheap inferior contract group W wideband aerials.Also the 15 year old Argos bought cheap crappy co-ax you mentioned does need replacing with a much superior double screened copper/copper CAI approved cable (black coloured preferred,but brown will do,white not recommended) with a much superior brass co-ax plug, (not silver,alloy or worse plastic co-ax plugs the're useless).Again ATV of Sheffield stock the above mentioned.
