Freeview reception at WV11 2TB

For reliable and stable Freeview reception, you need an unobstructed path between the TV aerial on your roof and the digital TV transmitter. The map below shows the transmitters predicted to provide a signal at this location.

You can click on any transmitter symbol to show the coverage area as a green overlay on the map. Double click on a transmitter symbol to go to the transmitter information page.

You can also view the ten closest potential '4G-at-800' mobile phone masts within 1.5km of the selected location - these masts may be used for 4G-at-800 mobile broadband services from 2013-2015.

The HD signals carry approximately 4 times the amount of data per programme as is the case for SD . That's one reason that the transmission encoding has had to be changed to a more capable system, and hence the need for a DVB-T2 tuner for HD . There is a suggestion that a '4k' form of UHD transmission might become available and that requires about 16 times the amount of data compared to SD.

I there a fault on the today?

My Post Code is DE1, .

BBC on () was flakey last night with break-up. I woke up this morning and there was no reception to BBC on (C49), or () (). ITV was stuttery and then about 07:40 that went to No/bad signal too.

Morning,

Further to my earlier post - still no luck.
1. Everything is as it was - still in the right direction and all equipment connected
2. Have tried re-tuning with and without - makes no difference
3. Have tried re-tuning with VCR and without - makes no difference
4. Have unplugged aerial and re-tuned - still only finds Midlands
5. Have tried manual re-tuning of all advised stations - finds a strong but does not the (perhaps it's the TV???)
Any suggestions would be most gratefully received. Frankly I'm cock-a-hoop because it has obliterated the that features Fred Dibnah but my husband hasn't stopped moaning since it happened and somehow it is MY problem!!

Over to you experts.

Fran Shuttlewood : Try carrying out a "manufacturers reset" on the TV prior to following the advice given by KMJ, as far as the "manually" tuning in of Oxfords Mux are concerned, as by you being located extremely close to the transmitter, which is a of , it would be nearly impossible for the TV "not" to up PSB transmissions from this before by Woodford Halse transmitting on channels 25 - 22 and 28 (HD), whereas Oxford mainly uses channels in the 50 - 60 range with the exception of COM7, and Freeview devices always from 21 upwards.

By the way, "Manufactures reset" is also referred to by some manufacturers as "Default setting" or "First time installation".

As a recap on that said by KMJ, Oxfords Mux channels are : 53 - 60 - 57(HD) - 50 - 59 - 55 COM7(HD) 31.

simon: Since my kids have just been watching Tv using , and there has been nothing reported, logically its at your end. Could be a frayed which has finally let go, moisture in the system somewhere, etc.

If you look at the 's DigitalUK Tradeview box, the blue one just to the right of you name for your latest posting, you will see that is the least favourable for you as it is 75 km away and the will be weak or very weak compared to that given by the nearby transmitter, which provides Midlands . is a possibility but that does not give East Midlands services.
