The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.

I live on the wirral in merseyside my local region is bbc north west and itv granada , Which is winterhill bolton however i am less than one mile from the storeton teansmitter which dual broadcats north west regional tv and north wales as our very close proximity to wales so it serves both , how ever i ditched sky and got myself a cheap digi box all works well and good ,however my default bbc and itv is yorkshire lol i get calander news on 3 and bbc north on 1 , i do get my local channels in the 800s i am miffed why emley moor 80 miles away defaults as local when storeton which i can see physically at the top of my road does not default , i have asked other people where i live they said the same or default to wales , does anyone else have the same problem or head of this , i am on the border of the northwest and wales and couldnt be any futher away from yorkshire

Carl k: Storeton Granada uses low UHF channels (22 to 29) wheres Emley Moor uses higher ones (41 to 52). This means that you can run the automatic tuning with the aerial plugged in for Storeton and unplugged for the rest.

As a percentage, unplug at 25% and leave it unplugged until it gets to the end. This will also prevent you from picking up Storeton Wales which uses 53, 57 and 60.

David Parker,
You have followed their advice and nothing is changed, so if the unit proves to be faulty, you should be entitled to a replacement. If the unit does not come up as faulty, I would think that you should be allowed a refund or exchange for something which is fit for purpose. Even if you have to pay a little more for better spec. equipment, it is still a better option than the bin.
Regards, Ron.

Update on my freeview problems.
Thanks for all your advise guys.Had to buy a portable in the end to see if it was signal or Tv,and it works perfectly.Booked engineer to fix TV as looks like componant gone somewhere,so it is going in TV hospital for repair.Visiting times to follow lol.At least buying portable was cheaper than getting ariel man out as that would have been a waste of money in the end.Thanks again

I'm sorry David but I dont have HD, I could only offer general advice and this has obviously not worked. I hope the techies can find a solution for you.

I have recently had my aeriel cable cut by roofers and re-connected to the aeriel socket. Now my in-built digital TV (no box or sky)appears not to be working. I can receive analogue TV (bad quality) however when I change to digital on the TV 'no signal' is displayed. I live in Leeds, Yorkshire. Can anyone shed any light on the problem?
I have re-booted the TV and checked the cable to the ariel, the connections to the ariel appear sound.

Can anyone help me with my problem?
I would like to view some tv after several months parted?

Much appreciated, Madeline
