I live in guisborough, which aerial group would i need to purchase to receive full Freeview service?

Thanks
Robert Hill
Wednesday 25 April 2012 2:46PM Wetherby
Andrew,at the moment I think it is Group A aerials. But come change over i September I think it will be Group K aerials. I look towards the this site there is a link giving aerial groups. May be others will fuller information.
Dave Lindsay
Wednesday 25 April 2012 4:04PM
Andrew: I don't think you stand a chance of receiving Freeview until switchover.

When it does happen though, Bilsdale will be Group A for Public Service Broadcaster (PSB) multiplexes and Group B for the Commercial (COM) ones.

The power of the PSBs will be 100kW whereas the COMs will be 50kW. The latter will also use a less robust mode so that they can fit in more services.

As Robert Hill says, you could use a Group K aerial which covers Group A and Group B. However, by extending the range of frequencies that the aerial works for, there is a trade-off in sensitivity (gain).

Looking at the Digital UK Tradeview predictor, you will need all the gain you can get.

You could opt for a Group B aerial on Bilsdale for the COMs and continue to use your C/D Guisborough aerial for the PSBs. Then diplex the two together.

If the downlead is old, then it may be a good idea to replace it with double-screened cable such as Webro WF100.

For lots of information and products, see www.aerialsandtv.com

I'm not a professional on this matter, so perhaps others on here could be more specific.

However, there may be a marked difference in the strength of the signals coming down your aerial lead. I expect that the ones from Guisborough will be stronger. I wonder if a masthead amp will be necessary for the Bilsdale COMs aerial...

Some pages on ATV's site that may be of particular interest:

www.aerialsandtv.com link icon Bilsdale TV Transmitter

www.aerialsandtv.com link icon Online TV Splitters, Amps & Diplexers sales - The diplexer that splits at C51 will allow you to combine your Guisborough aerial with the Group B Bilsdale aerial.
Dave Lindsay
Wednesday 25 April 2012 4:16PM
Andrew: Another page to look at on ATV's site is the one with gain curves on:

www.aerialsandtv.com link icon Gain (curves), Again

This shows how yagi aerials aren't so good at lower frequencies and why a wideband (probably high-gain) will not be the best for you if you decide to receive all services (PSBs and COMs) from Bilsdale.

Andrew: You may find this discussion interesting:

Freeview on Sudbury TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice

jb38 says that where there is difficult non-line-of-sight a lower gain aerial with booster is better than a high gain one. The reason being that lower gain aerials have wider acceptance angles.

As you don't have line of sight, I thought that this might be useful to you.

In my location (DL2 2LJ) I get poor reception from Bilsdale due to trees and am considering changing to Pontop Pike. At present I am receiving most of my stations from Pontop Pike even though my ariel is pointing to Bilsdale. I noticed however that the data for Bilsdale gives a 'rating' for most MUX as low or below average. Does this relate to signal strength and will the signal strength be increased at the digital change over.

Hi, I have just purchased a new Panasonic plasma tv which has freeview hd built in, when I set it up a couple of weeks ago I was very surprised to find that it picked up (and still does) the freeview hd channels. I'm not complaining as it's a great picture but I am wondering how this is possible when I live in Teesside TS19....especially as my friend who lives just over half a mile away cannot receive it. I am wondering if it is some kind of test transmission that is likely to go off soon?

Cheers guys.
Dave Lindsay
Monday 14 May 2012 8:35PM
Marty: Bilsdale does not broadcast HD until switchover.

My guess is that either you are either picking it up from Pontop Pike which hasn't switched over yet, but is one of a handful of transmitters that has a pre-switchover HD signal.

To find out which you have, go to one of the HD programe channels and bring up the signal strength screen. If it says that it is tuned to C63, then it is coming from Pontop Pike. The other possibility is Emley Moor which is on C41.

Monday 14 May 2012 10:01PM
Dave: thanks a lot for the info I will certainly do as you suggest, if it is pontop pike like you suspect then do you happen to know if they will continue to broadcast hd till the full switchover? Also (sorry to be a pain) but can you explain why I am picking up a signal from another area when I should be getting the bilsdale transmission.....is it just a case of my aerial pointing in a different direction? Am I likely to eventually end up with an inferior signal because of it? Sorry if these are dumb questions and I fully understand if you don't bother to reply.....much appreciated if you do though.

Cheers.
Dave Lindsay
Tuesday 15 May 2012 3:06AM
Marty: Aerials pick up signals from other transmitters, usually to a lesser degree than the one they are intended for. How much (and if at all) you could say depends on luck.

Evidently your aerial is picking up a HD signal from somewhere, and as Bilsdale doesn't broadcast HD at the moment, your receiver has tuned to it. So don't be surprised if reception isn't perfect because an off-beam signal is being received.

Yes, Pontop Pike will continue broadcasting HD as it does now until switchover. As I say, HD isn't part of the standard offering before switchover. A handful of transmitters nationwide that operate (and operated) before switchover were selected to carry HD services and Pontop Pike was one of them. This does not affect Bilsdale's HD signals that will come on air at switchover in September.

So come 26th September you should be able to receive HD services from Bilsdale.

Stuart Morris.Darlington,DL2 2LJ.
Come DSO at Bilsdale (BBCA DSO1,Wednesday 12 September 2012,the rest DSO2,Wednesday 26 September 2012) the new higher powered post digital switched signals of 100kw on the public service broadcasters multiplexes BBCA,D3+4 and BBCB (HD),plus the 50kw commercial multiplexes SDN,ArqA and ArqB will vastly improve reception in your locality which at present is somewhat difficult.However you stated that your aerial is directed at Bilsdale yet receive some Pontop Pike transmissions due to poor reception issues in your locality because of trees.Is your aerial that faces Bilsdale a group W wideband (tipped black) antenna by any chance ? For Bilsdale once DSO takes effect you need a group K (tipped grey) semi-wideband aerial (either Yagi 18K,or X-Beam 16K) which is optimised for the lower/middle frequency bands,fitted with superior copper-copper co-ax cable (black coloured preferred for longevity) and importantly brass co-ax plugs,not alloy or worse plastic ones they're useless.
If you decide to opt for Pontop Pike instead which also switches over simultaneously with Bilsdale too,you need either a group C/D Yagi 18C/D aerial (tipped green) or a group E semi-wideband (optimised for the middle/higher frequencies) X-Beam 16E aerial (tipped brown).One possibility is to use a variable frequency diplexer (if available),one that splits the signal at a certain frequency say for example at frequency 47 so you can effectively have two main transmitter choices,one group K aerial using Bilsdale and a second aerial either a group C/D (Yagi) or group E (X-Beam) aerial using Pontop Pike as well.

Could you please let me know if there is a reason why the DAB signal on my car radio, in the Middlesbrough / Billingham area, often cuts out at 8:00 in the morning. This is when I am on my way to work and not before or after that time

It does not seem to matter where abouts in the journey I am. It can be on the Tees flyover, where there is no blockage anywhere to the signal, or in the middle of town but always at the same time

Hi, hope someone can help me, I've scoured the internet and found nothing! My daughter is hoping to move into a flat in Whitby. The letting agent told us the signal there is pretty useless and she won't be able to get freeview. However, as it's a listed building she can't have a satellite dish so is there anything she can do to actually receive any programmes? Thank you in anticipation.
Dave Lindsay
Friday 8 June 2012 11:06PM
Yvonne: As you probably know, Whitby is now poorly served by terrestrial television following the debacle in which the transmitter was resited to the back of beyond in 2007.

The Whitby relay transmitter will start broadcasting Freeview in September, but it will carry only Public Service channels. These are BBC, ITV1, ITV1+1, ITV2, Channel 4, E4, More 4, Channel 5 and the four HD services.

There will be no Dave, Film 4, ITV3, ITV4 etc. Only main stations such as Bilsdale carry these.

Is there a TV aerial and is it just satellite dishes that aren't allowed?

Where abouts is she thinking of moving?
J

Friday 8 June 2012 11:11PM
Yvonne: If your daughters flat is located in the lower down areas on the same level as the marina then she most likely wont be able to receive Freeview thanks to the residents having been somewhat foolishly given a choice where the replacement transmitter was sited.

However the only option she would then have is to use an online service "if" the flat is located in an area where that service exists, but it is still possible to use a smaller satellite dish kit indoors if your daughters window is Southerly facing and she is NOT located on the opposite side of the marina to where the Co-op building is situated, so if you could provide her post code or one from very nearby (a pub etc) then this could be checked out.

Saturday 9 June 2012 12:01AM
Yvonne: The prediction for the postcode you've provided suggests an excellent chance of getting reliable reception from the Whitby transmitter. This will provide the PSB multiplexes only after switchover in September - see references to 'Freeview Lite' or 'Freeview Light' elsewhere on this site, or the Whitby transmitter page, to see what channels will be available.

It's very unlikely that a full service from Bilsdale will be possible at that postcode, even after switchover completes. The chances of even getting the PSBs reliably are very low indeed. Currently, Whitby only provides BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1 and Channel 4 on analogue - Freeview is only currently available from Bilsdale in your area.

Saturday 9 June 2012 8:00AM
Yvonne: Just out of curiosity, could you please clarify if the code you provided is applicable to your own residence or that of where your daughter is hoping to move into? as the content of my reply was based on it not being the latter, not of course that it would make much difference unless she was located in the slightly higher level parts of the town where the reception from the Whitby analogue relay isn't quite so iffy.

Dave, jb, Mike, thanks for your responses. We live in Redcar at the moment, my daughter is moving to Whitby to work at the new Sainsburys being built. The flat she's hoping to get is in Church Street Whitby, it's a top floor flat facing the harbour with a communal rooftop aerial, I noticed there was a BT Openreach phone point and the agent said the previous tenant used BT Vision but having looked into that it seems that uses freeview channels so probably isn't viable.

Dave, the postcode is YO22 4AS
J
jb38
Saturday 9 June 2012 8:31PM
Yvonne: Yes, a BT vision box is in effect a Freeview box but with a broadband connection so that video can be viewed on-line, and so I feel that's what the agent was possibly meaning as Freeview is not presently available, although this BT Vision via on-line broadband is done on a monthly contract basis and so the costs can add up, so your daughter has to beware of that fact.

Obviously you did provide the code for your daughters proposed flat, the only reason I enquired was that many people when enquiring on behalf of someone else usually forgets and provides their own code rather than the other persons, you of course not having done.

All that's been said by Mike Dimmick and Dave Lindsay applies to that Church Street code, with myself being quite acquaint with the Church street area as I am up in the Whitby area every three months or so, and generally have lunch in the fish & chip restaurant located at the bend in Church street where it leads down to the bridge.

Bob: On 12th BBC standard definition channels switchover to full power digital so if you don't retune on that date then you will be unable to view them.

On 26th the rest switch over.
