Do you know anything about your aerials? Do they have red tips?

If you are missing Band 46, I think you have the old red band aerials & that's why you are not getting band 46, Iv come across this lost this week although grey bands are working fine.

Trevor Milburn:
An update on my Bilsdale problems. Scanning through the channels on TV last night, I noticed a pile of new channels in the 8xx range - several of which were the missing channels. Knowing that this is often the case whilst the transmitters are being tested and they are basically 'ghost' channels with no programme transissions, I thought nothing of it. However, on closer inspection, I found all my lost channels had re-appeared (my Sony has Automation System Update (I think that's its name). Did a system check and they are all showing as Picture Quality - 0, Signal Quality - 66, so I don't hold out much hope of keeping them but will monitor the situation over the next few days. It may have only been 'atmospheric conditions' so will wait & see and report back

All problems with bilsdale transmitter will be solved if you use a simple 'log aperiodic' aerial. they are very 'wide band' and not half as obtrusive as the so called 'high gain' aerials that the installers are currently touting. Don't forget THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A 'DIGITAL' AERIAL, and anyone who tries to sell one on this basis is either an ignoramus or a wide boy.
After all, this type of aerial is the one of choice that the BBC themselves use.

Jacqueline Fowler: I posted an explanation here in response to Alan:

Bilsdale (North Yorkshire, England) full-Freeview transmitter | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice

A number of other people have reported exactly the same issue.

First off, if your TV has manual tuning you should attempt to tune to the missing multiplex (a multiplex is a single signal that carries multiple services).

Go through to the manual tune function (if there is one) and tune to UHF/RF channel 46. The multiplex on C46 carries Dave, Pick TV and others.

I've got a slightly odd one here.
I have an EyeTV connected to my computer, but have great difficulty getting BBCA on C26.
I am using an indoor aerial mounted high on the top floor of my house pointing out of the window.
I have to loop the aerial cable half way round the rom to do this (approx 6 metres).
The strange thing is, since switchover, the signal is so strong that I don't need the aerial plugged in (just the loop of cable) to get a good signal on PSB2!
Channels on all other Muxs are fine.
Checking the signal strength and quality, they seem almost identical for both BBCA and PSB2 using the tuning software for the EyeTV.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Mike: Its very difficult for anyone to advise in cases where non-standard receivers are being used as devices such as these can suffer problems outside of the norm for Freeview TV's or boxes and there is nothing to compare them with.

That said, if the signal is as strong as you have reported at 10 miles away from the Bilsdale transmitter, then even although the signal strength on PSB1 might appear as being almost identical to PSB2, in reality this might not necessarily be the case and PSB1 is possibly slightly overloading the tuners input, which if this applies is liable to cause instability to occur in the tuner resulting in the corruption any data that might have been picked up, or indeed maybe even completely blocking reception of the mux as this type of thing can happen with standard Freeview TV's or boxes.

Try a reduced signal test by turning aerial about 10 degrees or so away from Bilsdales bearing of 305 degrees, or maybe even just using with a short length of wire (about 5 feet or so) connected into the aerial socket, you will of course have to carry out a retune as the mux data will not have been stored.
Mike
Friday 4 January 2013 2:22PM
Thanks for your response jb38.

I'll keep trying different positions for the aerial and see if what helps.

Hi,
Is there any reason that I would be able to receive just PSB2 (itv mux) and no others?
I've just moved into a property that has 2 old contract style aerials on the roof mounted horizontally. Every other house in the village has vertical aerials to pick up the nearby relay as bilsdale is not line of sight here.
I've no idea why the 2 aerials are horizontal as as far as I know the relay was there when the house was built. I didn't expect to pick anything up, but I receive the PSB2 mux at 40% strength 100% quality (no breakups), the other mux's have no signal whatsoever.
I'd rather get freeview from bilsdale as the relay is just freeview light, would a better aerial drag in the others?
Any advice appreciated.
Dave Lindsay
Wednesday 9 January 2013 8:25PM
Jon: It's not possible to say with total and utter certainty, but I think that technically you are pushing your luck to receive anything other than the PSB (Public Service) channels, whether that be from West Burton relay or direct from Bilsdale.

From Bilsdale the COM channels are at half power to the PSBs. They also use a less robust mode so that they can cram in more services (more shopping channels).

So if you are struggling to get Bilsdale's PSBs, then you ain't gonna get its COMs.

That said, contract aerials are cheap crap:

www.aerialsandtv.com link icon Aerials, TV Aerial and Digital Aerial

Have you tried manually tuning in the other multiplexes? If you do, once you enter the UHF channel number, but before you press the button to scan, wait and see whether it gives any indication as to quality and strength.

Thursday 10 January 2013 10:07AM Bedale
Thanks for the quick reply Dave,

I didn't expect to receive anything, I already thought I'd need to get a new aerial for the local relay (as I think the existing one will be grouped, so just turning vertical wont help).

The TV is tuned already because I've moved from the top of the dale so had good Bilsdale coverage before.

I'd already used the frequency tuning, 29 (itv mux) gets 40% signal 100% quality, all others get absolutely nothing except 26 (bbc1) which intermittently gets 5-10% signal 10% quality / no signal.

I didn't expect to get anything, but I'm now more confused since get 1 mux perfectly usable and nothing else. I wondered if perhaps the itv mux was transmitted from higher on the bilsdale mast than the others?

I guess I'll have a trip to the loft to investigate the cabling next (there are 4 aerial sockets in the house, although only 1 seems to have any signal for anything.)
Jon
Thursday 10 January 2013 10:24AM Bedale
Looking back at the gain curves for A Group aerials, I guess the gain profile could be the reason I get only 29 (being the highest frequency in the group).
Jon
Thursday 10 January 2013 11:35AM Bedale
Bizarrely I can acutally receive the ITV mux from the local relay as well on channel 39 (even though the aerial is the wrong polarisation and groupA) although the signal is less than from bilsdale. No signal on the other frequencies though.
Guess this is due to the groupA aerials gain curve again, but now I have 2 copies of the ITV channels and nothing else from an aerial setup that should not get anything.
Dave Lindsay
Thursday 10 January 2013 11:50AM
Jon: Digital reception is pretty much an "all or nothing" system. So either the picture is "perfect" or "nothing".

I believe that the PSBs are radiated from a single antenna array.

The reason for the differences in reception is due to other variables. Different frequencies get reflected and refracted to differing degrees due to adjacent objects. Aerials, broadcasting and receiving, spread and are sensitive to frequencies to differing degrees.

The gain of an aerial is simply at the expense of greater "loss" in other directions. The less gain you have the less directional it is.

As you've seen, yagi aerials' gain curves slope downwards on lower channels. The size of the reflector on the rear is important as the lower the frequency the longer the wavelength and hence the longer the reflector needed to achieve the same level of "reflection" and hence directivity. Hence, because the reflector is the same length, the gain must be less. (Other factors may also play a part in causing this slope; I'm just considering the effects of the reflector.)

Bill Wright, a great authority on aerials, talks about "short reflector syndrome":

www.wrightsaerials.tv link icon http://www.wrightsaerials….pdf

If you are looking at new aerial, then have a look at ATV's site for information: www.aerialsandtv.com link icon A.T.V (Aerials And Television) TV Aerial, DAB Aerial, FM Aerial.

If you try to achieve the full complement of channels from Bilsdale, then a Group K aerial is the best single aerial to use. Or, alternatively, a Group A aerial diplexed with a Group B one with a diplexer that "splits" at C38.

Unfortunately, "if" you find that you can receive COM channels from Bilsdale with a Gruop B aerial you will be unable to combine this with an aerial on the West Relay (for PSBs) because it also uses interleaved Group B channels. Therefore, in such circumstances you would have to receive Bilsdale's PSBs, although, as I've said, the COMs are inferior to the PSBs, so if the former are possible, then common sense suggests that the latter will be.

If you were to purchase only a Group B aerial for reception of Bilsdale's COMs and it didn't work, then you may be able to use it for reception of West Runton's PSBs. If you find that you can pull in the COMs, then you could add a Group A aerial.
Dave Lindsay
Thursday 10 January 2013 11:56AM
Jon: If you are conversant with going up on the roof safely, then you may find that reorientating the aerial(s) (and switching them to vertical) will work on the relay. Perhaps this will be until you get a more suitable aerial, but will provide reception until then.

It might be worth replacing the cable with double-screened coax typically used for satellite installations where the higher frequencies necessitate it:

www.aerialsandtv.com link icon Satellite, Television, FM, DAB, Aerial, Coaxial Cable, Plugs, Sockets, Connectors & Leads

If you do sucessfully receive from Bilsdale, then a mast-head amp to boost the signals might be necessary.
Dave Lindsay
Thursday 10 January 2013 12:00PM
Jon: Of course, a Group K aerial would also be suitable for the local relay. So if you tried it on Bilsdale and it won't pull in the COMs, then you could switch it to the relay instead.
Dave Lindsay
Thursday 10 January 2013 12:25PM
Jon: I'm not a professional and don't have any formal qualifications in this subject.

See also my posting to M S Hahn on aerials' acceptance angles which are narrower the higher the gain:

Freeview retune day - how was it for you? | About UK Free TV | ukfree.tv - 10 years of independent, free digital TV advice

Therefore, there is a trade off and higher gain might not be what you want as you don;t have a "beam" to point your aerial at because the terrain does not allow. You are trying to receive what is being refracted over the brow.

A professional on here has commented that a lower gain log periodic aerial used in conjunction with an amplifier may yield better results.

As I say, I'm not a professional, so it might be worth seeing what others on here say before buying an aerial.

I have a cottage in Whitby near Baxtergate and at the moment we receive just a few freeview channels from the Whitby Transmitter. I wonder if I would be able to receive the full complement of channels from the Bilsdale transmitter If I were to fit an antenna with high gain (quoted for use in fringe areas) and also a mast head amplifier. Is it a case of try it and see or will it definitely not work?
jb38
Friday 1 March 2013 8:15AM
Andrew: Based on having knowledge of the Whitby area I would say that there is almost no chance of you receiving a signal from the Bilsdale transmitter anywhere around the Baxtergate level, as indeed neither can many locations somewhat higher up as you climb out of the valley and with any signal that might be received being totally erratic.

The other aspect that makes the situation worse is that Bilsdales PSB channels transmit on twice the power of the commercials, and the erratic reception I refer to is when on the PSB channels.

I have my aerial on the single storey roof. The tv is full hd and the quality is superb. However, I now realise that we will not get all the channels available. ie ITV3 and film 4 but can get gay rabbit!! style channels - seems crazy. Can I put up another aerial pointing to Bilsdale and so possibly get the other channels, although I read that reception will not be as good? I live in Guisborough
Dave Lindsay
Wednesday 20 March 2013 10:46AM
Beverley: Maybe.

The difficulty may be that the high-ground at Newton Moor has trees. This would be the crown over which you would be receiving the signal. This may or may not prove an issue and its effect may or may not be seasonal.

I suggest that you consult a professional aerial installer for an opinion as to how successful it might be.
