RE: Stanton Moor Transmitter
I've just noticed earlier this morning that C26 has stopped working. The TV says weak or no signal but I have all the C23 and C30 channels. HD channels all working good (which usually go first when the signal gets a bit dodgy). It's the same on two separate TVs. I've tried re-tuning a couple of times but it's not found any C26 channels. Please can you advise if you have any faults reported.
I live at the top of Bakewell.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi, I can't find any faults listed at present and the transmitter isn't currently listed for Planned Engineering. Having said that we know lists aren't always 100% accurate, and with the severe weather conditions we've just had, there could be a delay in reporting all incidents.
Unfortunately you've done the wrong thing. It's never recommended that you retune, if you were correctly tuned previously, when you have no signal or badly pixellated pictures. It will usually clear your correct tuning. You cannot tune to a signal that's not there or can't be decoded.
Your best bet is to try manually retuning C26 until you get them back. You may have to try several times depending on the cause and when signals return. Once you have them back, leave it alone.
If your set shows No signal or the pictures are badly pixellated whatever the cause, transmitter faults or engineering, weather conditions, a fault on your aerial system, then retuning will not help.
Do check that your aerial looks intact and is still pointing correctly and that the downlead isn't flapping in the wind. Check all accessible coax connections and plugs and ensure there is no corrosion or water ingress. Faults like that can have an adverse effect on just one multiplex without immediately obvious effects on others.
