Monday 1st August. HD channels are gone again... NG2 area (Nottingham transmitter). Why is there no maintained Freeview / Transmitter status site with upto date information. Someone has done something to affect reception (/transmission). Who, Why What?

anthony: What is your postcode?- so a check can be made on which transmitters you are likely to be able to receive signals from. At present only Kimberley is transmitting HD in Nottinghamshire. Belmont begins on 17th August 2011, Waltham begins on 31st August 2011 and Emley Moor begins on 21st September 2011.

lesley: Going by what you it would suggest you are receiving Freeview from Waltham, and the trade predictor indicates you should have good reception.
I have to say that nothing is presently indicated as far as any problems existing with Walthams ITV1 etc, but just for a test carry out a manual scan on Ch31 as thats the Mux transmitter for ITV1 / Channel 4 etc.

lesley: When watching news on BBC One, do you get the East Midlands service, or the West Midlands service from Birmingham? If it's the latter, your aerial probably points south-west to Sutton Coldfield rather than south-east to Waltham or north-west to the Nottingham relay.
The Digital UK trade predictor reckons that you should get a better service from Waltham or Nottingham rather than Sutton Coldfield right now, and even after Waltham switches over (17/31 August) and Sutton Coldfield does (7/21 September).
Nottingham has already switched over - no analogue services - but the three commercial multiplexes are on low power. Retune on the 24th of August for ArqB, and the 27th of September for SDN and ArqA. If you can still receive analogue, you must be getting it from a different transmitter.
If you find you have a different news service on digital from that on analogue, your digital box may have tuned into a different transmitter from the one your aerial is pointing at. Check whether you have another version of the channels at number 800 or so, or anywhere else in the programme guide. If you do, see Digital Region Overlap for ideas of how to correct this.
Digital UK's prediction shows 100% across the board from Waltham, which indicates very strong signals. If you're sure you're using that transmitter, it's possible that you have too much signal. If you have a booster or amplifier, try removing it. If that doesn't help, try adding an attenuator. You should do a full retune each time you change something, so that the box doesn't keep incorrect information around.

The aerial(dual)is mounted outside. My question is why does the signal quality keep going to zero, signal strength stays about 97-100. This is more pronounced on psb2.

Ian Bradley: Not sure what you mean by a "dual" aerial.
If the signal "strength" meter is around 100%, then you have too strong a signal. If you have a booster or amplifier, remove it from your system.
If you don't, fit an attenuator, they cost around a fiver.
