I live in Reigate and in common with about 40% of households here we receive all our broadcasts from the Midhurst transmitter (anologue and digital). The Reigate booster is there to infill the rolling topography of the North Downs, but it doesn't really. The result is that our local news is all about farminf in Dorchester and yachting in Poole. All very nice but it would be good to hear about Surrey just now and again. I've complained to both the BBC and ITV many times but they're just disbelieving. I've invited them to come and take a look at all the aerials in Reigate pointing south west, but they just dismiss you as if you're a nutter. Annoying since we pay licence fees like everyone else.

Anthony: the BBC has recently tested a more local TV service in the midands, and is considering rolling out such a service nationwide. In the test, each county had its own 10 minute program, that was broadcast on the internet, via a loop on Freeview and satellite.
ITV is creating a new Thames Valley region, but this will not cover the Midhurt transmitter. If you get digital satellite, you can choose which ITV and BBC regions you watch - they are all available.
The BBC 'has no plans to make any changes to its regional service supplied by Ridge Hill, Oxford or Newbury'

BAD BBC! from Midhurst.

Since middle of October the BBC1/2/3 digital reception has been crap! I've now lost ALL the ITV channels. Bizarrely BBC 4, Channel 5, Sky 3, UKTV history are great!. Plus all the radio stations. Most of the shopping/games are fine too,

The problems seemed to start when the 4 Top Up Tv channels were found.

My oggle box, Digital TV aerial etc had been working fine for the last 6 months.

The 4 analogue channels still work (I use an old arial and the booster at Holy Cross?

Dear Bryan,
You’d better off using a Group C/D Aerial to receive a decent signal from Midhurst, all the digital channels are in that grouping (i.e. channels 48-68) Go for a high gain aerial if you can I use a Triax Unix Aerial with good results, I live near Horsham

Hi There,

My signal comes from the midhurst transmitter, which is 24km away I live just south of Horsham RH13 9EJ I fitted a new wideband arial a couple of years ago on the outside of the roof on a 4ft pole so it's about the height of the top of the roof of the house I also have a signal booster fitted in line, I can get 63 Freeview channels, but still cannot manage to tune into Sky 3 (channel 11) I have retuned/reset the FV box Ferguson FDT2000 several times and still cannot get it, one retune I lost Film4, but even thats come back now, but still can't get Sky 3.

Do I need a newer wideband arial with higher gain or is it possible the arial just needs moving a few degrees, The general reception seems to be pretty good except that the picture does crack up on C4 when it rains heavily, and I sometimes get digital break up at the same time.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Jez: if you are only missing Sky Three - if you CAN watch Sky News, UKTV History, Sky Sports News and E4+1, try the www.ukfree.tv link icon  My Freeview box has no EPG, is missing Film4 or the channel line up is wrong procedure. All the digital transmissions from www.ukfree.tv link icon Midhurstare in-group so you should not need a new aerial. If you are missing ALL the channels from multiplex C, then first check that there is nothing causing interference on channel C64 such as a VCR, games console or Sky Digibox. If this doesn't fix the problem you may need a new aerial, or you may have interference from another analogue transmitter. Please put your postcode into www.ukfree.tv link icon My Freeview reception to find out.

Wednesday 22 November 2006 7:37PM
Brian thank you for your reply,
you little beauty !!!!

Tried the reset as above it worked a treat, I've now got 96 channels including the missing Sky 3 & E4+1, plus a load of others, I have my FV box first from the arial then to the video, then Tv.

My only remaining problem is Sky 3 & E4+1 are very pixelated, is this the arial and am i going to need a better higher gain arial now, have you any recommendations on arials.

Tbh; it was Sky 3 which i perticually wanted, so if i need to get a new arial to get a clear unpixelated picture then i 'll have to get one.

Thank you again for your help, it's much appreciated.

Cheers Jez

My postcode is DE13 and I should be able to view all digital channels on my new digital TV; however, channels 18 - 23 are missing which include the music channels. I've been to freeview.co.uk and followed their recommendations for retuning, but to no avail.

Although this is a rural area, there is a large distribution centre a short distance away which I've been told affects local reception. Could this be the problem?

Just have an analogue roof top aerial at the moment ... would a digital aeriel and/or booster help? What sort of aerial would I need and what would the approx. cost be for a detached house?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Neil Pickard: The Midhurst transmitter will be upgraded in March 2012! If you are getting no reception in the evening you have what sounds like a local interference problem. This could be caused by mains induction from a fridge, freezer, central heating system or similar. This problem is fixable with a mains filter. Another problem may be a mobile phone close to the aerial or set-top box. Or you may have problems with CD or pirate radio.

Muxes C & D have "effective" reduced power to the East. This is to avoid interference to Heathfield & Reigate ITV analogue.

Neil, your problem might well be streetlight interference as is the case in my location. The West Sussex County Council lighting division ("Solve") were extremely sympathetic & helpful but were ultimately thwarted by the man from ofcom who could only state that my (analogue!?) signals were "below the parameters as set by the BBC" with no real offer of help. The fact that the digital signals were robust by day, break up only occurring after the lights fired up, cut no ice whatsoever. As a "gesture" he didn't charge me!! "Solve" did change some lighting heads and chokes which greatly reduced the problem. 10/10 for their effort. 1/10 (he did turn up) for the man from ofcom.

My post code is RH20 1PE. I receive signal from the Midhurst transmitter. I have a wideband high gain aerial but have always struggled with freeview. I have tried various boxes. Channels come and go mostly with weather conditions but have consistently got worse recently. Would I be better with a high gain band c/d aerial or a better wideband one? It is mounted on a 12foot mast so cannot go any higher
Briantist
Saturday 12 May 2007 2:24PM
David: You should be able to receive Freeview with no problems. You can use either a group C/D or wideband aerial, it makes no difference for digital reception. You certainly need a larger aerial, however.

Having been receiving all Freeview channelsfrom Midhurst fine for months, the ITV/IBA ones have recently started to drop out. Re-tuning only partly works and last time (-around 18.00 tonight) no IBA channels were available at all after re-tune.

Any reasons known for this? (I know that its very wet, but the rain and the drop-outs do not seem to be correlated)

Just to clarify, all channels on MUX2 (ITV/Ch4) have disappeared off Midhurst. Rescannig has no effect. This has been the situation for at least a week now. Previously no probs. I can only assume this is because of the current adverse weather conditions (?).
Briantist
Tuesday 3 July 2007 10:30AM
Trevor: The tranmission multiplexes are single datastreams that provides all the channels. Either you CAN receive the multiplex and you get all the channels, or you can't and you get none. This is a known problem with 64QAM mode and this is the reason why the BBC and everyone else say that a rooftop aerial (not a loft one) is required for reliable reception. Remember that after switchover ALL transmissions will be 64QAM. The current weather conditions (heavy rain and wind) tend to cause problems by causing signal reflection problems (shaking leaves on in-the-way trees), moving the TV aerial casuing misalignment or by water getting into the cables and shorting the signal and rusting the cables.

hi, my aerial is pointed at midhurst (we live in east meon GU32) but my freeview box says the transmitter is rowridge. Some evenings about 7pm the quality of the signal drops to almost zero on ITVx/Cx/5 i.e. everything but BBC. Signal strength is consistent at 55%. Thoughts?
Briantist
Tuesday 10 July 2007 10:42AM
richard williams: Freeview boxes are sent the name of the main regional transmitter (Rowridge) rather than the name of the actual transmitter. If you have perioidic reception problems, you need to get a larger aerial and perhaps point it at an alternative transmitter. Also, if the evening problem is intermittent, check for this being caused by central heating, fridge, freezer etc.

Hi, I live in steep and did get a good signal on all DVB muxes , then on Sunday I lost completely C65 but all the other muxes are still good signal strength, so I assume its not my arial thats moved.

Briantist
Friday 14 September 2007 11:33AM
Pauline: It could be your washing machine, tumble dryer, central heating boiler or similar causing "induction interference" - if this is the case a "mains filter" fitted to the Freeview box will fix the problem.

Your chart above shows that Mux C transmits at higher power than Mux 1. I sometimes get good reception on C, but lately it has been very poor - Muxes 1, 2, A & B are always very good. Mux D works even more sporadically, but I am not that concerned about that.

I have a high quality aerial, good cabling and amplifiers feeding my dual Black Gold PCI tuners in an MCE PC. The Mux C reception has only got worse in the last few weeks. BTW, MCE thinks that Mux C is 817Mhz!

I live in Ewhurst, Surrey, GU6 7QB.
Briantist
Friday 14 September 2007 4:42PM
Mark Konieczko: If you have problems with a single multiplex then this could be down to a local interference problem from a device (such as a VCR, games console, DVD player) that has a "RF out" (also "analogue UHF out" or "modulated signal"). I wouldn't worry about the quoted frequency being one value out. The Black Gold cards are a bit temperamental when the input signal is low, they require much more signal than a traditional Freeview box. I have a pair of them in my Vista Media Centre and I had to add a powered splitter (a combined splitter/booster) to get them to work satisfactorily.
Mark Konieczko
Friday 14 September 2007 5:41PM Cranleigh
Briantist, thanks for the very promt response. I don't have any other equipment in the house with RF or analogue UHF outputs. I am aware of the problems with PCI based cards and also have a powered splitter to feed the cards. Does Mux C really have a transmission signal of similar strength to Mux 1? Perhaps I am over amplifying? I can get Sky News reception, audio seems OK but picture 'stutters' quite badly. A few weeks ago it was fine and I don't believe anything has changed.
Briantist
Friday 14 September 2007 7:28PM
Mark Konieczko: The figures above are correct. I don't understand when you say you can't get Mulitplex C, but you CAN get Sky News. Can you try using a mains filter?

Monday 17 September 2007 5:53PM
I have two queries. I recently had a group C/D aerial mounted on a ten foot pole on the chimney.This is on the Midhurst transmitter. I live about two miles north/west of Horsham.I can now receive UKTV History, and the other stations in the same Mux, but the picture quality is variable between 40% to 70%.I have a Humax PVR-9200T recorder.I was surprised to notice that the Humax is saying that these stations are on UHF channel 26 (514Mhz).All the other stations I can receive are on the UHF channels transmitted from Midhurst.How is it I am receiving Ch26 on an aerial of the wrong group pointing, presumably, in the wrong direction?
My second query is this. I also have a set top box feeding another TV. This is a Sony VTX-D800U.After doing an automatic tune, I can also now receive UKTV History etc., but also I am receiving stations in the 800 range of Freeview stations. For instance,800 is ITV1,801 is CH4, and so on. Where are these coming from, and why can I find no reference to them online? I hope you may be able to shed some light on these mysteries.
Briantist
Monday 17 September 2007 8:32PM
Gordon Ingram: You can see the transmitters that use C26 for multiplex C here www.ukfree.tv link icon Find a freeview transmitter by frequency | ukfree.tv - independent digital TV and switchover advice - I would guess it's Rowridge, but I can't be sure without your full postcode. When a Freeview box can receive the same channel on different frequencies they put the "extra" versions on the 800-899 channel area.
Gordon Ingram
Tuesday 18 September 2007 9:43AM
Thank you for your quick response. My postcode is RH123RS, which makes the aerial angle for Midhurst 252 degrees, and for Rowridge 237 Degrees. Would I be right in assuming that if I obtained a second aerial of group A, and had it turned to 237 degrees, I could expect to receive Mux C on CH 26 even better than at present on the group C/D aerial? Also, maybe it would improve the quality and quantity of these other transmissions I am receiving in the 800-899 channel area.It would be useful to have alternative stations available for when there are adverse weather conditions.
Briantist
Tuesday 18 September 2007 9:48AM
Gordon Ingram: Under no circumstances should you try to use two aerials for Freeview reception, it almost always ends up with a mess. If you get a new aerial, get a 100-element Class I wideband aerial, and point it directly at the transmitter you get the strongest signal from, then there will be no need to do anything in "adverse weather conditions".
Nick Howitt
Sunday 30 September 2007 7:55AM
Like a couple of other posts, I am currently having problems with MUX2. I live in Petersfield. To receive it reliably now, I have to run two aerial boosters in series - one is 14dB gain the the other is a 4-way distribution amplifier with up to 10dB gain. I have changed no other electrical appliances in the house. If other people are getting this problem, has something changed with the transmitter?
Briantist
Sunday 30 September 2007 8:43AM
Nick Howitt: This is perfectly normal for the "64QAM" mode channels - in particular if you use boosters. You may find it better to get rid of the boosters in the house and use a larger aerial with a masthead amplifier.
Nick Howitt
Sunday 30 September 2007 8:59AM
Reception of analogue TV without a booster/masthead amplifier is no good. I need some form of distribution amplifier to split the signal for the three TV's. The distribution amplifier is in the loft, not far from the mast. Is there any difference between that and a masthead amplifier?
Since the problem with MUX2, I was feeding the aerial to the booster then the distribution amp (on low gain) with the booster right beside the distribution amp.
If I try a bigger aerial I believe I would only get another 3dB of signal. What sort of hi-gain aerial would you suggest?
Briantist
Sunday 30 September 2007 9:37AM
Nick Howitt: There is a huge difference between a masthead amplifier, where the signal is booster at the reception point and futher down the cable, as a booster at this point also boosts the interference caused by a length of cable and a few connectors. If you have poor reception it seems disengenous to complain about Freeview reception... get as large an aerial as you can (Class I) with 100 elements or more, with a masthead amplifer, replace you co-ax cables with satellite-grade cable and mount the aerial on the roof as high up as possible, on a long pole if necessary.

have moved into Horsham in the last few months postcode is RH13 5EG Old looking TV areial on roof seems to be pointing west/northwest. My Humax PVR seems to pick up most chanels apart form Sky 3, News and sport UK TV History and Film 4. Strangely one of my older Hitachi freeview boxes, connected to the same ariel seem to pick up the sky channels and UK TV history usually in the evening with blocking but another one dosen,t. When scannning the screens say Rowridge transmitter. In short does this mean i need to reposition my ariel or indeed buy a new one. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Chris Imthurn: As it says, "On C64, analogue ITV-1 signal from Heathfield (horizontal) is stronger than Freeview multiplex C signal from Midhurst (horizontal). " - you might be able to sort this with a very large (100 element aerial) which would be more directional.

Tuesday 13 November 2007 10:47PM
Hi. I live in RH20 Ashington. My aerial is pointing at Midhurst. My freeview box says I am getting mainly Heathfield and some Rowridge stations. The signal must be coming through the back of the aerial for the Heathfield ones I guess.
Going by an earlier answer the Rowridge ones must be from Midhurst?
However the Heathfield signal is better than the Rowridge one and most of the stations I get are Heathfield ones. Given that Heathfield is twice as far as Midhurst how can this be?
