YKL, sorry to hear about your poor reception of HD channels. I live in bramham I around 3 to 4 miles south of wetherby and I have been receiving the HD channels okay. Maybe a little dip in signal strength but not much. If you are receiving HD you will be getting your TV from Emley Moor. The HD multiplex is on channel 39.

Wayne,I have the same model of set top box.But have no trouble receiving the HD channels or SD channels here in Bramham
3 to4 miles south of Wetherby West Yorkshire.
Go in to the menu then settings ,system followed by signal detection,and check signal
strength/ quality.

YKL,have you any history of bad reception,or
is it recent? My only trouble was last year,during the major work for DSO.Even then I was fairly lucky.Have you had your aerials etc,checked plus all other connections. May be your local conditions in the local area have changed. It can vary fromm house to house. I would of thought with the large increase in ERP you should be ok?

Aidan, sorry to read you are having trouble receiving Emley Moor signals.I live in Bramham, 3 to 4 miles south of Wetherby,about 24 miles north east of Emley Moor. I am not in the same position as you, in fact the a lot of the village is in a dip,and in that direction there is trees. But I am getting enough signal with help of a mast amp (in loft).May be your connections need check in? Just as an aside the other week during the night they must have been testing Full power because they test transmitting on the channels they will use after DSO. I connected a aerial meant for outside, but I positioned in the bed room window towards Emley Moor and surprisingly, I the signal strength was good enough an Quality good. no amp. I hope my relpy is of a little help?

The HD multiplex signal is very variable today. It is the worst it as been since BBC1 HD started. Mind you, the signal strength and quality as always been low. All the other multiplexes SD very good.Roll on 21st September.

Barbara Allen, sorry, you can't get BBC1 and BBC2 on digital but since the Belmont transmitter had its first switchover. The BBC multiplex on channel 22, is now higher power, 150 kW. I live in West Yorkshire nearly 62 miles away from the Belmont transmitter and I can receive the high power BBC channels. Okay. So unless there is something else different at your mothers end?
Try a factory reset. The Belmont transmitter is not my local transmitter. It is Emley Moor. There is a possibility. If you have not done what I suggest that the BBC digital on 22 is in the 800s. Next Wednesday 17th August is the second digital switchover, try the factory reset (rescanning) again. My location is a small village called Bramham near Wetherby West Yorkshire. I hope I have been of some help, if not maybe somebody else will give you an better explanation.
