I am in S44 Bolsover and I have blank screen with weak or no signal showing on screen. This is tuned in to the Unstone transmitter.

Andrew Hicken:

You certainly won't be receiving signals in Bolsover from the Brockwell transmitter, and there's no transmitter called Unstone, the nearest would be Dronfield (which you won't receive) or Chesterfield and Bolsover is on the edge of that coverage. You maybe in a weak signal area but as you haven't given a full postcode I can't make any constructive comment on that except that reception of the COM multiplexes may be poor.

However the Chesterfield transmitter is currently listed for Planned Engineering with Possible effect on TV reception week commencing 28/08/2023 Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels.

Do NOT retune whilst you have no signal or badly pixellated pictures if you were correctly tuned previously (never recommended) as this usually just clears the correct tuning and you'd have to repeat the retune when signals are back to normal and as you won't know when that is, you may have to try several times!
