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.

David Parker,
Well done on the deal, at least you got some compo for the messing about you had to do haha.
I suggest having a quick 'Google' on the Alba unit first, to see what, if anything, has been posted.
It's always worth a bit of research these days because it is so easy online.
Best of luck and glad you got your refund.

I just keyed in this unit to Google and, guess what,? another duff.

Please read before you buy. It could save you more frustration.

Alba STB300HD - don't buy this set-top box

Is this site updated 24/7? I have two TVs, since yesterday evening there's been NO SIGNAL. I have repeatedly done all of the steps to rescan, I have changed the aerial setup, I have used the signal booster then tried it without, I bough a new cheap TV just in case, to check-- Nothing. Simply NO SIGNAL. No channel, DTV, ATV, whatever. Indoor antenna, communal buidling antenna, no antenna, whatever--NOTHING. Everything worked perfectly since September, every channel, no issues-- then suddenly all gone.
Is it really possible that the transmitter is OK???

Joseph K: Whilst it has been known for small relay stations to go off the air without the broadcasters being aware of it it is safe to assume that, with a transmitter the size of Emley Moor, the engineers would be made aware immediately if any problem occurred, not to mention complaints from a sizable number of viewers. The BBC status reports no problems, so it is reasonable to start checking the receiver, the communal antenna and associated cabling etc. Have the neighbours also lost their tv signals?

Thanks for the replies-- To be frank, most of my neighbours don't speak English well enough to understand me, and everyone else I know has Satellite or cable... The problem is that it happened on Friday evening, meaning there's no one I can contact. What's especially distressing is that even unplugged from the communal aerial, and trying to use an indoor one, still I get Nothing... When I first hooked up the TV in September, even before getting a signal booster and hooking it up to the communal antenna, I at least got a few channels with poor reception-- now there's literally nothing. This situation is challenging my understanding of the universe.

Joseph K: When you mention that you unplugged the communal aerial and tried the indoor one and still nothing, did you actually try a re-scan with the internal aerial installed? as if you haven't then you should try it.

Yeah, I've rescanned about 27 times-- I even bought a new Freeview-ready TV because I assumed the TV simply stopped picking up a signal. The new TV has the same problem. There are no options left here, if it's not a transmitter issue, there must be an inversion bubble over my apartment... One would think a rescan with only an indoor DTV aerial would pick up SOMETHING, even if just barely, so that I would know something was being transmitted? This is driving me crazy, not just because I didn't get to see Mythbusters yesterday, but becuase I can't make sense of it (that is, if it's true there's been no change in or issue with transmission)... Argh!
