Thanks for your reply, Briantist. I have since noticed that the interference starts at 5:45 pm - exactly as the street lights come on; and stops dead at 7:00am - exactly as the street lights go off. This repeats every day. I've asked the council to come out and check the street lights. Strangely, the interference is worst (between the aforementioned times) when a plane is in the sky or a car passing nearby. I'm suspicious that a lamp-post is operating like some sort of beacon. Does this sound plausible?
Note: Between 7am and 5:45pm reception is perfect on all channels.
Briantist
Monday 26 February 2007 2:38PM
AdrianH: You certaily should not expect a streetlamp to output RF interference. If you are sure that this is the case, you can get onto Ofcom as they can help. See www.ofcom.org.uk link icon Problems with interference affecting my TV and other devices in my house | Ofcom

I am at CV345NN and have tall pine trees close to my house between me and the Sutton Coldfield transmitter, digital reception was a bit iffy from Sutton Coldfield and the analogue aerial is very old.(26 years+)
I believe from the map that I should have clear line of sight to the Larkstoke transmitter from the roof.
Is the Larkstoke transmitter a viable and powerful enough alternative to Sutton Coldfield for freeview, given that I need to replace my aerial anyway?
Could a taller aerial pole be the solution if Sutton Coldfield is the only real option ?
Briantist
Tuesday 27 February 2007 9:31AM
Mike: Lark Stoke is a very weak Freeview transmitter, but if you have good line-of-sight and a large aerial, and perhaps use satellite-grade cable you MAY be able to get a signal, but you are outside the Freeview reception area, so there are no guarentees!
AdrianH
Sunday 4 March 2007 7:11PM Coventry
Fixed.....Despite a good deal of prevarication and numerous assurances from the council that it’s impossible or incredibly unlikely, my reception problems did indeed turn out to be due to street lighting; as I thought. It seems the baluns and capacitors in the lanterns can break down over time and then start spraying the whole area with RF interference. The culprit in my case was in a different road to mine and at least 35 metres away from the closest point of my house. Analogue TV was badly affected, but Freeview was just unwatchable: picture pixilation and break-up, picture freezing, and sound distortion and squeaking. I’ve had quite a game getting the council to come around after lights-out, so I had to resort to finding the faulty lamp using a portable short-wave transistor radio; it goes off like fireworks when you get near the source of the RF interference. The lamp has now been disabled, pending a more comprehensive fix, allowing me to resume my evening couch-based pursuits (err, that’s just TV viewing nowadays). So, if anyone else is similarly blighted, I recommend you get a short-wave radio, and something heavy and sharp for dealing with the council.

Are there any reported probems at the moment, as we cannot receive any DTV channels
Briantist
Wednesday 18 April 2007 7:54AM
adam coomer: none are reported. Loss of all channels will either be a set-top box failure or total loss of the aerial signal - usally this is accidental damage to the aerial or a cable.

I am watching freeview on my PC using a high gain aerial that is currently in the attic mounted on a pole and bracket made for the purpose.

I am getting intermittent reception, for a few days reception is perfect. Then for no apparent reason the reception is awful with lots of breaking video and audio.

Ironically I can actually see the SC mast from my desk in the spare room! Even more ironic is that the poor reception appears to be at its worst when I CAN see the mast as opposed to it being hidden by cloud etc.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

cheers

I've just moved house, only round the corner from my old house, old post code was ST19 5bx, the new one is ST19 5DX, at the new house i fitted a new arial on the chimney last week and an amplifier in the loft. I pointed the arial northerly in the same direction as the one i removed although there seems a split in direction on my neighbouring houses. signal was great at the old house and has been good here but it often goes off and we only have 6 channels. I bought a new box but this didn't help. Do you have any advice please, Paul (ST19 5bx)
Briantist
Wednesday 16 May 2007 9:36AM
Paul Yeomans: You need to point your aerial due east (259°) to the transmitter at the Wrekin, not north towards Fenton. Please see www.ukfree.tv link icon Find out how to receive Freeview | ukfree.tv - independent digital TV and switchover advice

Briantist
Monday 9 July 2007 9:41PM
robb bird: Usually this problem is caused by RF interference from a Sky Digibox, VCR or games console that has been set up to use the same broadcast Frequency as Multiplex B, C51 and is overriding the weak Freeview signal.

We had Sutton for all but for Max 57 from Wrekin, for the last year. In the last few weeks there has been very poor reception and now the only way I get BBC is to use Wrekin, 21. Channel 5 is near unusable for both transmitters, though for most of the year was good. We had a high gain aerial with mast head amplifier fitted when we moved in so that not the problem. Is the weather or transition strength causing this loss of signal?

I have a loft aerial, pointed directly at the wrekin, but am picking up pretty sketchy freeview from the sutton coldfield transmitter.
Can anyone tell me why this is?
I am, uessing my aerial connection is not working, but wouldlike some advice on how I can improve.

Tuesday 21 August 2007 11:51PM Leamington Spa
Please can you help me? My postcode is CV31 1UP living in the bottom of a valley. I replaced my tv aerial in 2006 and reception was consistently good. Then in about May 2007 the gales (followed by near-by flooding) led to a continuously poor reception:repeated pixelation of the picture and we had to use a fuzzier analogue view to get something worth watching. The forum seems to suggest this problem is wider than our locality and Sutton Coldfield is reported as working properly.
What can I do? My Digifusion fvrt 101 box seems to work but it might be sound sensitive now. Is it the transmitter power fluctuating or the aerial? The setup reports corrupted signal strength, varying from about 60 to peaks of 90 for a few seconds . What can I do?
Briantist
Wednesday 22 August 2007 8:18AM
John Ireson: The transmitter is fine - being a multi-million pound device being used by several million people which is under constant monitoring. The problem will be with your reception equipment such as a misaligned aerial, loose connectors or a damaged cable.

Monday 3 September 2007 10:19AM
Had freeview installed, with a new HG aerial. Im TF12 (broseley) and the installer told me that he used sutton coldfield rather than the wrekin as SC can get all channels.

3 weeks in and now BBc1,2,3,ITV1,2,3 dont work - low signal. C5 is great - so are some of the other channels.

Is it my kit or are others having problems with SC ? please help - am tempted to go back to sky !.

the signal put out by your sutton coldfield is corrupt never used to be i agree with others comments reception is getting icreasingly worse despite you saying all is ok why when in july it was reported sutton was to remain b status has it been changed to e/wh?
Briantist
Monday 10 September 2007 3:52PM
beaumont: The problems you experience will be down the degradation of your equipment, not that of the transmitter, which is under constant surveillance. The aerial group has changed from B to E/W because Multiplex D is broadcast on C55, this has been the case since 1998.

I have just upgraded to a wideband aerial so I could get Film4 which now works great, but now all the channels on Mux 2 (eg ITV/channel4 etc) are crap and are suffering from interferance i.e. freezing, blocky and intermittent sound.

I had an old bog standard aerial before, which could recieve all of Mux 2 (but no Mux D). So, I'm thinking - Is this a faulty or poor aerial thats been installed? How can I test this out?

The new aerial is a Saphire aerial which looks identical to my old one - (about 16 elements).

The lads who fixed it were keen for me to spend as much money as possible and when I said no, £71 is more than enough, they seemed upset and rushed the entire job in 5 minutes flat - literally.

I'm now wondering if I should have gone from the larger radar looking aerial. Looking at the guarantee it looks like they wont entertain any sort of interferance issues and I'd bet they would charge me even to come and look.

The wife is really mad at me as she wants to watch "Brothers and Sisters" on C4 and could'nt give two hoots about Film4.

Would it be worth me getting a better aerial and installing it myself (I'm a techy so I'm happy to give it a shot)?

C.

PS: Looks like Mux 2 has a low power rating for Sutton Coldfield.

Friday 14 September 2007 11:25PM
Hello I live in WR26JR, we have noticed that over the last 2 weeks, the freeview signal for ITV, Chan 4, E4, Film 4, always pixelates. Its strange because the problem only happens after 8pm. I have spoke with colleagues working and living in and around worcster, they too say that it is only recently (as 2-3 weeks) that the picture quality pixelates. I have checked the system info for my Digibox, and when the picture quality fluctates, the signal quality drops to 0, from 8-9 for half a second or so.
Its not the aerial because that has been checked. It's not the cables because I have replaced them all. Its not the digibox because I have 2 separate digiboxes that are experiencing the same problems (I tested the digiboxes on the same line). I am an ICT Technician so I am fairly clued up on which equipment to check (in anticipation of your reply). The only possible causes are that 1. it could be changes in the landscape between worcester and Sutton Coldfield. 2. The transmitter has degradated or is experiencing problems. 3. There are current localised electrical freqency interruptions. How do we get anyone to check the Transmitter? This problem really has only started recently, I have run the equipment mostly all day every day for the last week without problems, until around 8pm.
With thanks, Emma Faulkner
Briantist
Saturday 15 September 2007 4:07AM
Emma Faulkner: The output of the transmitter is under continuous and automatic monitoring. If the problem always happens after 8pm and happens in the way you say it could be "induction interference" from a central heating boiler, freezer, fridge, etc. You can test for this by turning off anything with a large motor in it. If it does turn out to be the case, a mains filter on the Freeview box will sort this problem. Other sources of interference could also be a GSM (ie, not a 3G) mobile phone near the aerial or box, or illegal pirate radio.

> The picture was brilliant, I got all 6 multiplexes, until the end of july when I lost mulitplex a,c & d, which are all transmitted above 700 MHz (Ch 51+) I have just had a little wiggle of the arial and nothing changed when looking at the signal intensity on the tuner that I have (I have tried a second one as well).

hi emma,
I get the same problem as you on mux 2 except my postcode is B179QU. it was fine last night until around 8 pm. again, it can't be the digi box as i've tried a different one, or electrical interference from our house. the aerial is new, and the line of sight is excellent. checked the tool on this web site and no problems there.

so my only two conclusions would be

1. transmitter issues - poor signal and bad weather considering.
2. a illegal broadcast.

can anyone help us narrow down the the above?

I have noticed over the past few weeks that when re-tuning several channels have been lost. I was using a loft aerial of the original older style used for analogue signals. this seemed fine until a few weeks ago and I could no longer receive Film 4, film 4+1 and ITV4. I noticed that on occasions that I could receive 80 channels and sometimes over 100 channels. I have now changed the aerial to a 32element and still cannot receive film 4+1. Is this still transmitted? I live in B72 with the aerial pointing north.

like some others I too am having problems with the MUX2 channels from Sutton Coldfield. I live at B45 8QF and had a new high gain aerial and cable fitted earlier this year when I got an IDTV. All was fine for a while but more recently the MUX 2 channels (ITV, CH4 etc) have become increasingly unreliable and it's a rare day any of them watchable :(

I can't vouch for the 8pm time mentioned above as i rarely watch the TV before then but certainly there's never any problems on any of the other digital (or analogue) channels so I tend to suspect outside interference... any ideas what I can do about this?

hmm... well the map for ridgeview suggests I could receive it - but the text says analogue only, no freeview, and given my position on the side of hill to my SW I suspect the text is right, for the same reason I doubt I'll get the Bromsgrove transmitter either. Wrekin is analogue only so that just leaves Brierly Hill - which it seems requires a different aerial in a different orientation and warns that I "may be able to receive some but not all" channels *sigh*

Are you seeing something different from me?

"It is likely that the TV aerial on your house points 26km north-northeast toward the transmitter at Sutton Coldfield, if so you should be able receive Freeview but you may need a new (group E/W positioned horizontally) roof-top TV aerial. {this is what i have}

It could also point 11km northwest toward the transmitter at Brierley Hill, if so you should be able to plug-and-go with a Freeview box using your existing (group C/D positioned vertically) roof-top TV aerial.
{so I'd need a different aerial}

Some channels (click here for list) are on lower power so you may be able to receive some but not all.
{but might not help anyway}

Your aerial could also point 57km southwest toward the transmitter at Ridge Hill, which you cannot receive Freeview from (but you can see analogue channels).
{map appears yes - text says no!}

Your aerial could also point 48km northwest toward the transmitter at The Wrekin, which you cannot receive Freeview from (but you can see analogue channels)."

ps. no problems with mux2 channels last night when i checked - just a pity there was nothing i wanted to watch on them!

I live in WR2 4NB, and like others, have had problems with ITV, Channel 4 ITV2 over the last few weeks. They are unwatchable on freeview. Again, I've checked the box, tried running 2 different freeview boxes in different parts of the house, and they were both OK up until a few weeks ago.
I'm also tuned to Sutton Coldfield. It would be one heck of a coincidence if we all suddenly had a boiler or GPRS that was causing the proble.

Any ideas how to fix please?

Hi, I live in WV3 8AH and have in the past enjoyed listening to radio via freeview from my TV. In addition I used to be able to pick up channels such as UK History. Recently I've been unable to connect to these channels so I've retuned all the available stations. It appears that I cannot pick up anything on MUX B C51. Since I used to be able to do so I assume that something, somewhere is wrong - an anybody what to do to get the MUX B channels again
