No TV signal this morning HG2 7HX is this a fault? If they are working on the transmitter why were the times it it wouldn't be working posted on the website?

For a year I had problems with Freeview and could not find the cause of the problem at all. Then I unplugged the aerial out of the signal amplifier and straight into the Digital Recorder. All problems vanished and all channels work perfectly.

I hope this helps other people who have not tried discarding the amplifier and just plugged the aerial straight into their receiver.

John, York.
I only wish you had found this site a lot sooner as there have been numerous posts about 'too much is worse than too little'.

Digital transmissions are very different to analogue and anyone using an amplifier should disconnect it from the downline if they have problems, as too much signal overloads the tuners and this gives the impression that there is not enough signal.

There have been many grumbles about 'going digital', but when you consider that analogue was 850 kilowatts for each TV channel and now a single digital multiplex can carry upwards of 10 TV channels on 174 kilowatts, giving the same coverage, it has to be more efficient.

I am very happy you now have your channels without problems.

Best regards.

You are not very far from me I live S63. C48 has been on lower power for a good long time untill they brought in Digital from Bilsdale Pontop pike transmitters in the north east correct if I am wrong this is still lower power at Emley moor or it gone to full power yet
I hope this will help you

Arthur, (S73)

Com 6 from Emley Moor is still reported as being on 87Kw (see rating at top of page) rather than the 'normal' 174Kw. This is the one which carries Film4, Yesterday and another 28 stations, including approx 10 radio stations. This mux was on lower power to avoid interaction with Bilsdale, but I understood it would be uprated after their switchover. I do not know why it has not been as yet.

Does anyone know when and if they will be boosting the power on C48 or not? Or am I doomed to no Film etc?
