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?

Thanks Dave.
When I check signal for channel UHF 41 there is nothing. No signal strength or quality.
Most of the other channels show excellent signal quality and reasonable strength (about half it's potential).
Channel UHF 47 is a problem, mostly in the evenings but sometimes during the day too. It shows 'excellent' quality although unlike the other channels you can actually see the bar fluctuation. The signal strength seems to remain constant, but isn't very strong, it's just about in the yellow band but can drop into the red band.
Watching BBC channels is frustrating, the picture freezes for a second or so every few seconds. I don't have this problem on my other (Older) box though which is odd!
We don't have sky etc, and everything else inc DVD player is generally turned off at the mains when not in use. We just have the one roof ariel as only one TV in the house.
I do have a mains powered portable ariel that we used to use upstairs, would that be worth trying do you think? I assumed it wouldn't be enough for digital TV (not that I know anything about these things!)

Hi Gem, if you've tried plugging the Philips HD box straight into aerial socket (you say you don't have Sky, so I guess it doesn't go through anything else anyway), then I come to the conclusion that you will have to get someone in to replace your aerial.
What was the reception like on the analogue channels? Also, what was the digital reception like before switchover?
I believe that I've located the cause of your problems. Ideally, your aerial needs line of sight with the transmitter. In cases where there isn't, that's not to say that it won't work. It merely increases the chances of having issues.
I used a website to plot the path from your location to the transmitter. Unfortunately the ground goes up towards Brierley Gap (the red lines indicate where sight is blocked):
Terrain between ( m a.g.l.) and (antenna m a.g.l.) - Optimising UK DTT Freeview and Radio aerial location
I then went to Google Streetview and looked down Saxon Mount and found larger the normal aerials on Emley, some on high masts. Some houses have decided to point their aerials at Belmont instead. This rather confirms what I found about the terrain going upwards around Brierley Gap.
Clearly others on your estate will have the same issue.
I therefore suggest that you look at having your aerial replaced.

Thank you so much for all your help. I don't mind looking into getting my arial upgraded if there is a good chance it will resolve the problem.
I just didn't want t get ripped of by a company who will say it needs doing even though it doesn't!
We'll try it and see what happens anyway! Thank you.

Richard Caywood: It should be appreciated that when such as you have mentioned occurs its 99% of the time because the usually applying "non line-of-site reception" of the signal received is being obstructed or reflected in some way, like for example such as you can get from branches on trees with wet leaves blowing about in the wind, as there isn't anything on a transmitter mast that can vary with weather conditions.
The other point is, that even although the signals all come from the same mast they are at different height levels and so don't necessarily radiate in exactly the same horizontal plane, this making it whereby a signal from one level on the mast can be reflected by whatever, whereas from a different level it isn't, its total hit and miss!
The other factor that can affect signals being received is dense rain clouds, as these can have a reducing effect on the signal in roughly the same way as it does with Satellite equipment.
