Will the works on Emley Moor cause channels to disappear altogether? As on one TV in our house we seem to have lost ITV, channel 4, 5 plus some others.

We completly agree with everyone. It really is terrible that there's no notification or message on the tv that there will be disruptions. I'm sure that there's many like us that were worried, thinking that there was a problem with their tv cable and signal. Oh well...

As others have said to be informed would have been a good thing! just a small notice on the screen 5 mins before would have done the trick,.. I have spent time retuning the tv and checking connections and coax thinking a problem with the New TV had arisen . Now it seems I have more time at some point having to re tune the TV . To get all my Channels that I have now lost .

Like many here, I noticed problems shortly after midnight.

Tinkered with leads, settings, re-tuned and tried other TVs. Suspected that the transmitter was likely to blame and googled this site in the early hours, raising a smile at some of the comments and incompetance of broadcasting not being able to prompt the viewer with a simple on-screen advance notice of removal of service for a given period.

I'm guessing they work hard and get paid peanuts because there's certainly some monkeys in charge.

What a shambles overnight, no digital or analogue available from approx 00.35hrs UTC. NO WARNING OF IMPENDING SHUTDOWN. I do fortunately have access to Bilsdale Transmitter here in York so I was quickly able to realise that the problem was at Emley Moor. Wide Band Antennas seem to be essential if very poor customer service continues from Emley Moor.

Nearly went out to purchase a new TV and the BBCi page KEEPS opening up on BBC1 - 12 hours on and still not working ok. If I try BBC2 it defaults back to BBC1 and then on the interactive page again. How frustrating !!!

Thankfully I have SKY and VIRGIN channels - they kind inform me if they are working on anything.

Wednesday 16 March 2011 8:27PM
I see there has been no “ON SCREEN” Notification of Transmitter shutdown tonight; I sincerely hope that this means we will not lose reception half way through a film. It seems that the BBC's £3.6billion licence fee revenue is not enough to pay for a Hourly “ON SCREEN” warning of transmitter shut down during the hours leading up to the disruption. It is bad enough that recently the programmes shown are made either for those with little intelligence or old ladies, not to mention after midnight we are subjected to the highly distracting insert of a person signing, foreign films or reruns of yet more soap operas. Now it seems we have to put up with total incompetence in the form of a lack of informing us of a loss of our services. If British gas cut 1000’s of people of without warning for “planned maintenance” there would be Questions raised in the House of Commons.
It seems our licence Fee goes on grossly high wages and not on programmes or Customer service.

C.Sayer, if you can receive Emley Moor you should be able to receive HD with an appropriate HD set-top box. I live in Bramham (LS23 6RJ) and I can receive HD on channel 39. It all depends on how good your reception is? I hope that answers your question? Good luck!



Please post a question, answer or commentIf you have Freeview reception problems before posting a question your must first do this Freeview reset procedure then see: Freeview reception has changed, Single frequency interference, and Freeview intermittent interference.

If you have no satellite signal, see Sky Digibox says 'No Signal' or 'Technical fault'

If you have other problems, please provide a full (not partial) postcode (or preferably enter it in box at the top right) and indicate where if aerial is on the roof, in the loft or elsewhere.
