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.

Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) mast?

Thank you for your input . If that is not the problem, but as u have said still a mystery

There is no earth bonding to aerial pole.

In regards to frequencies listed it is listed as they are if I have made a mistake then that I apologize for, but it's how my TVs list them as in the order of coms etc.

All:

A reminder that since the 700MHz clearance retune -
Emley's Multiplexes & UHF channels are now as follows, in the order -
PSBs1/BBCA, PSB2/D3&4, PSB3/BBCB HD, COM4/SDN, COM5/ArqA, COM6/ArqB, COM7 HD, COM8 HD, & Local
C47, C44, C41, C33, C36, C48, C55, C56, & C39.

Whether you get satisfactory reception of COMs 7&8 or the Local multiplexes will depend on location.

The past few days Com4 SDN signal strenth has been well down @ 50% and below, making viewing of ch70 40 and the rest unwatchable.
The rest of Mux output seems to be ok at 80 to 100%
We had this problem after the last retune that seemed to sort itself after a few days.

My location Doncaster with 18element ae on Emley Moor

Paul:

Depending on your exact postcode, you could possibly pick up 3 other main transmitters in addition to Emley Moor. Check each of your multiplexes is correctly tuned to Emley Moor's UHF channels as listed in the post before yours.

If you are correctly tuned, you mentioned an 18 element aerial, if this is an older Group B aerial as originally used by Emley Moor, then the SDN multiplex may not be received as strongly, likewise the ArqA multiplex, you may need a Group T (or Wideband) for optimal reception, especially for COMs 7&8.

If you have all these things then, as I can find no reported faults by the BBC or Freeview I'd suggest you check all your coax plugs, connections, flyleads etc, unplug connectors check for corrosion or other problems and reconnect them. Flyleads are a common problem, try swapping/changing them. Also check that your downlead looks undamaged (especially if it is old) and that your aerial seems intact and pointing in the correct direction.
Problematic connections, water ingress etc. can seem to affect reception of just an individual or several multiplexes.

Also check you have no HDMI leads near poorly screened flyleads/aerial leads as these can cause interference.
