Tacolneston (Norfolk, England) Full Freeview transmitterFriday 13 January 2012 7:00PM
Great Yarmouth
Really need help!
Just done a bit more testing (wife calls it playing) and further to previous post noticed that I don't get any signal on c59 BUT all the channels on that mux are on the "extra" mux I get on c41.So in a nutshell I get sdn mux on c41 not c59 as I would expect from tacolneston. So I would assume I'm lined up on the wrong Transmitter? BUT no other transmitter in the uk transmits on that frequency line up.
HELP! is the website info incorrect??

Thanx KMJ
That was my initial theory but
It's at right angles (347-258) to my aerial
It's the wrong polarisation
It's got a better signal despite going through end wall and rest of terrace.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm I know it's a black art, but?
see 2nd post for more confusion lol
But thanx for your input!

mmmm all good explanations but, as someone who is dubious of coincidence, doesn't explain the "loss" of c59 which (by coincidence, that word again!) carries the same content as the c41 I get (but shouldn't)
I saw another post on this site make reference to "parts being borrowed from sudbury for the tacolneston transmitter" prior to DSO. It couldn't possibly be that Tacolneston is actually Transmitting D34 on c41 instead of c59 IN ERROR????

Hi Lee,
See your in the same locale, i'm in Gorleston.
Can I assume you get ITV1 etc. ok on c59? 'cos I can't. Everything else ok with wideband aerial

Hi KMJ
Can see I've got your grey matter workin overtime!
When I say I've got no signal on c59 I mean on a manual tune looking at reception levels all as expected for Tacolneston except c59 "NO SIGNAL" and good signal (relative) on c41, which is unexpected. Strange thing is I got a good signal on c41 on our previous "non wideband" aerial, but as expected c42 no signal and breakup on c45, others all ok so upgraded the aerial to get c42 ITV3 (for the missus). Tuner is a wharfedale twin tuner pvr but same results on tv's (tecnika) on board tuner.
Got me going, for sure!
The only problem is a nagging doubt that my signal is not coming from tacolneston. Some sites refer to a relay in Gorleston on sea but others such as this do not mention it?

Hi Guys/Gals,
Started receiving freeview after changeover but missing c42 mux sdn. upgraded to wideband aerial today and pulled in c42 as expected but (as was the case with old aerial) receive mux on c41? both aerials were aligned to tacolneston on a bearing of 258 SO where's it coming from? box seems to assign channels to 800 range as duplicates.
Aerial is in loft with pre amp
