Thanks for reply.
Signal strength on other muxes is 92, but C29 shows nothing. Before I went on holiday everything was working OK and the aerial has not moved. The amplifier on my distribution unit is turned to zero. Prior to Digital switchover this was turned to full.
I'll wait a few days, could turn aerial horizontal and change to Emley Moor, but it was working better (before switchover) on the Dronfield (Chesterfield) Transmitter.
Thanks for confirming no fault at transmitter.

OK - Today the HD Channels have come back. Signal strength is 91 but the quality is only 40 - 50. This is the problem, when the signal quality drops below about 30, then I lose the signal. What I don't understand is that the HD Channels are broadcast at twice the power of the other muxes. The other muxes are all strength 92 or more and quality 100.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I think it's sorted!
When I have heavy rain (as recently) I lose the HD Channels C29. So tonight I turned back on my amplifier about 25%. This has apparently not affected the other Muxes, but has incresed signal quality on the HD mux C29 and stable between 50 - 60. So tonight I have all channels working fine. Only an hour ago I had no HD C29 and Quality 0-46 Max.

I have no C31, but I am receiving BBC SD (PSB1) on C47 @ 681.972MHz.
Can you explain this please, as this C47 and frequency appear not to exist!
Otherwise, everything is correct C29 C37 C40 C43 C46 (Plus C47)
Aerial is in the loft.
Chesterfield Transmitter does not transmit COM7, but all other frequencies are received OK.
Thanks

Apologies for multiple posts!
Seems I am getting C47 from Emley Moor Transmitter ?
But all other frequencies from Chesterfield?
Thanks

Thanks Chris
Postcode is S42 6LA, aerial is set vertical. I have a strong signal on all channels except C31 which is missing.
Then I have another strong signal on C47 which comes from Emley Moor which provides the missing signal C31.
Seems strange. Years ago aerial was horizontal and presumably picking up Emley, but when we went digital I found better reception vertical from Chesterfield. They are both in a very similar direction from here.
A 5G mast has been approved for Chesterfield, will this affect my C47?

Is there any possibility that Chesterfield is transmitting on C47 in place of C31 ?

Thanks both
The new 5G transmitter (upgraded from current 4G on that site) will be directly in line about halfway between me and the Chesterfield TV Transmitter. I am right on the edge of the coverage map for both Emley & Chesterfield. I hope C47 is not impacted by the 5G
So my (new) TV can tune to the best signal from either & both Emley & Chesterfield Transmitters ?
Just odd that I can't find C31.
The main thing is that I am covered, the HD channels news is from the wrong region, so I sometimes switch to the SD channels. I am unable to get COM7 (Quest HD) from Emley as it is much lower powered.
Without anything changing at my end, roughly a year or so (maybe more) ago I lost BBC1 from my old TV (presumably C31) and had to manually rearrange from channel 814 on my TV (presumably C47). The new TV stops at 800. Something has happened to prevent me receiving C31 from Chesterfield. I am glad the TV picks up C47 from Emley to replace it.
Many Thanks both for replies.

Just to say I have scrolled back through the comments and found another post with the same problem.
C31 has strong signal strength but poor quality, that is what I found previously as the TV would autotune to it every time, meaning I had to manually sort it.
That post thinks interference from the mast at Waltham was to blame.
Regards

All the HD Channels have gone off, nothing reported.
I am on the Chesterfield transmitter, was all working OK before I went on holiday.
I have carried out a retune, consequently Channels 50 51 52 53 are now missing.
