allan jackson: Being virtually on the doorstep of the Emley Moor transmitter I would say the smaller the aerial the better, as anything too elaborate is likely to cause overloading problems come switchover in September.
Although the transmission frequencies involved would suggest a group "B" aerial, I would just use one of these wideband types as are obtainable from places such as Argos etc, as although dedicated band aerials generally have more gain than wideband types, that particular aspect is not something being sought after for reception at your location.

More HD reception problems again this morning Sunday 17th July. Once again unwatchable. :(
Between Barnsley and Wakefield with direct line of sight to Emley Moor.

This page reports that ITV1 HD from Emley Moor is carrying the Granada feed rather than the Yorkshire feed. The EPG on the other hand reports that the regional news programme is 'London Tonight' instead of 'Calendar'. Which region do we REALLY have? Or do all ITV1 HD transmitters broadcast London Tonight?

I got London Tonight on ITV1 HD, and the commercials were different to the ones playing on the normal ITV1 channel. ITV1 had a few ads for the Yorkshire/Lincolnshire region, but the ITV1 HD ads didn't seem to have any regional bias. I guess we are getting the London feed.
