Michael Forrest: An interesting experience you had there.... At least the transmitter stayed up, unlike the original Emley Moor which got pulled down by the metal ropes contracting in the cold. Who would have thought it would snow in Yorkshire?

SIMON HANDLEY: The over strong signal problem is restricted to Freeview boxes. It is caused by having a oversized aerial or unnecessary boosters.

Briantist: Cela depende, even with the latest T2 receivers. The Humax T2 boxes put BBC1 South in LCN1 irrespective of whether you select London or North Hampshire and Berkshire regions, Philips SD boxes shunt Hannington down to the 800s, as do Sony STBs and various Sony Tvs handle matters differently. Theory and signal strength practice are two different matters. I'll let you know how the Sharp T2 box handles mixed high power signals tomorrow when I have more time.
To recap, 50 miles from Hannington in NW London using a Fracarro Sigma antenna in the loft and 28dB variable gain Vision Masthead coupled to a full IRS with external CP, quattro LNB satellite:
BBCA E45:
C/N: 24dB
Signal Strength: 95%
Quality: 100%
Result! But confusing for consumers from here on in...

mrdtv: I thought the latest version of the Humax software implemented the D-Book 7 requirement?

Emley Moor. That did for the career of my friend Donald Baverstock who was Program Director of Yorkshire TV which lost its signal completely for a time and then operated on low power for quite some time. Not tthe only mast colapse. The Big AM Radio mast at Brookmans Park fell across the old north road when the people doing maintenance removed one too many stays at the same time.
What's a few hours out of a few channels compared with those impressive cockups!
I promise not to folow this train of thought any further.
