The symbol shows the location of the Winter Hill (Bolton, England) transmitter which serves 2,690,000 homes. 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 Winter Hill (Bolton, England) mast?

Two weeks on from the local multiplex frequency changes and the Winter Hill NIT is still showing all three on 754 MHz.

The responsibility presumably lies with Digital UK.

The DTT NIT seems to have been reduced to a carrier bag for LCNs and daft messages like this one: "Database right of Digital UK Ltd 2019".

They never bothered to include a decent T2-Delivery-System descriptor that showed the frequency of T2 multiplexes, thus eliminating the possibility of automatic tuning of the correct frequencies via the NIT.

Eighteen months on and the monkeys that call themselves "Digital UK" still don't know they are putting out garbage.

Clearly, they are too busy patting themselves on the back, for doing such a fine job, to notice.

Here is an abbreviated version of my automated error dump:


Invalid Character Codes in the EIT off North West multiplex BBC A. Date: 2019/11/06 22:51:23

It has become apparent through observation that invalid bytes in the Freeview EIT text strings are the low-order bytes of the Unicode General Punctuation Block.

Of course only bytes less than 0x20 qualify as invalid codes in the context of EIT text strings.

Since about April 2018, the following invalid codes have been found in the Freeview EIT text items:

0x01, substitute: {0x01} -> Unicode Character: "EM QUAD" (U + 2001)
0x08, substitute: { } -> Unicode Character: "PUNCTUATION SPACE" (U + 2008)
0x0B, substitute: {} -> Unicode Character: "ZERO WIDTH SPACE" (U + 200B)
0x10, substitute: {-} -> Unicode Character: "HYPHEN" (U + 2010)
0x13, substitute: {--} -> Unicode Character: "EN DASH" (U + 2013)
0x14, substitute: {---} -> Unicode Character: "EM DASH" (U + 2014)
0x18, substitute: {L'} -> Unicode Character: "LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK" (U + 2018)
0x19, substitute: {R'} -> Unicode Character: "RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK" (U + 2019)
0x1C, substitute: {L''} -> Unicode Character: "LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK" (U + 201C)
0x1D, substitute: {R''} -> Unicode Character: "RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK" (U + 201D)

If you've noticed the absolute mess they've made with various aspects of amalgamating the DigitalUK site into the Freeview site as well as other changes to the Freeview site, then you won't be surprised about the lack of any clue regarding the EIT and NIT errors. This isn't my field, but wouldn't the NIT errors be down to Arqiva rather than DUK?

Chris.SE: Yes, I noticed. It's a pity the links on ukfree.tv with embedded postcodes no longer work.

I spent some time yesterday trying to track down who is responsible for the DTT NIT.

If you remember the "split-NIT", the responsibility for that was said to be DMOL and DTG. See:

"Split Nit problem - report of my meeting with Freeview"

Split Nit problem - report of my meeting with Freeview

The DMOL site is dead but not quite gone - thanks to archive.org:

"What is DMOL

DMOL, DTT Multiplex Operators Limited, is a company owned by the operators of the six digital terrestrial television (DTT) multiplexes.

It is a business to business organisation and its purpose is to provide technical platform management for the DTT platform."

DMOL | Home Page

DMOL was absorbed by Digital UK, who now seem to have been absorbed by Freeview

I didn't find any specific official claims of responsibility for the NIT.

The Digital UK monkeys still haven't updated the NIT to reflect reality.

Neither have they fixed the EIT errors they are responsible for.

Also, it seems the BBC has not dealt with the root cause of these errors.

All the BBC errors, since the vast majority of their errors were eliminated, have been of the form: {L''}some text{R''}

Here is the latest (abbreviated) automatic EIT error report:

Your Freeview channel list against each frequency is now out of date since changes were made at Winter Hill in November this year.

EG. I'm not getting anything at all on CH32 (Traditional terrestrial channels in SD) but I'm now getting them on Ch50. Sky News is now on Ch49 whereas it was on Ch31.

Any chance you can update the channels against frequency list when you're able ?

Our works TV distribution system works on Winter Hill channel numbers so we have to tune to the appropriate channel number (eg ch50) in order to tune in a specific broadcast channel (eg BBC1) which is why we rely on the above list on this website to guide us (we've not found a better one).

Gary Malliber:

The site owner has been unable to keep up with all the 700MHz clearance changes and as has been said many times on this and other transmitter boards, the best place to look is the official listings on the Freeview site (now that the digitalUK site has been merged into it).

Goto Freeview | All your favourite TV shows, all in one place and all for free and scroll to the box "Check Freeview at my home", put in the postcode and house number/name and click "Check".

On the new page, amongst other things, you should see a mention of any Planned work Freeview | All your favourite TV shows, all in one place and all for free corporate/platform-management/planned-engineering-works
also whether there's any current transmitter issues - I've not always found the latter to be 100% reliable.

On this new page, scroll down just over half way and click "Detailed view".
You'll now see a list of any transmitters and their multiplexes that are predicted to be received at your location. You can hover over some of the information to get more detail/explanation, eg. hover over a channel number will give the transmission mode and the power in kW.

For which channels are on which multiplex see Channel listings | Freeview
Freeview | All your favourite TV shows, all in one place and all for free service-updates is a page worth keeping an eye on.
