Will the last 3 multiplexes be increased from 20,000w to 180,000w in time?

As my signal is too weak to receive anything at 20,000w, I can get the three on 180,000w perfectly now they've switched over

Thanks for your reply
So Its not true then when all the switch over help scheme documents for over 70's says
-that theres no such thing as a digital ariel, and
- a small minority of homes will not be able to receive all 40+ channels.
Whats a multiplex ariel if its not a specific ariel you need to receive all the digital channels, and is peterborough considered a small minority in viewing terms?
My 78 year old mother puit off the offers of fixed price conversion on the understanding a new ariel was not needed
Would she be better off with freesat?

Pob: As above, "The commercial multiplexes at Sandy Heath will remain on their pre-switchover channels and powers for a period after digital switchover. SDN will then temporarily move to channel 31 (at 20kW ERP) on 31 Aug 2011, before adopting its final allocation of channel 51 on 18th April 2012. Arqiva A will adopt its final allocation of channel 52 on 23 Nov 2011. Arqiva B will temporarily move to channel 67 (at 20kW ERP) at switchover and then it will adopt its final allocation of channel 48 on 14 Sept 2011. NOTE: D3&4 and HD use transitional S1 antenna until 27 June 2012. "

Phil Taylor: No changes were made to the output of multiplex C, so you should still have Dave.

Multiplex D, moved to C67 as ArqB and has changed mode. For people on the edges of coverage, the mode change will mean you have to wait until 14 Sept 2011 when the multiplex moves to C48 at full power, to watch those channels again.

Before 13/4/11 I was able to get progams 12,15.24 perfectly.However after the 13/4/11 I have problems getting these programs I understand they are on MUX D. On checking your web site you state the the power on these programs are VERY LOW. Can you please tell me if this power will be increased in the future

John: The switch over help scheme only covers ability to receive the public service channels which are the BBC channels plus ITV1, Channel 4 and channel FIVE. In reality this means whatever channels are included on the PSB muxes when using Freeview. Switchover is due to complete in 2012 with some further adjustment to frequency assignments in some areas to withdraw C61 and C62 from use for inclusion in the "digital dividend" In most cases an aerial which gave good reception on analogue channels will be suitable for reception of the digital PSB muxes. In some areas viewers who wish to receive the COM muxes will need to change to a different group of aerial to receive the frequencies used by these muxes in their area. This is the case at Sandy Heath. Viewers to relay transmitters which only carry the 3 PSB muxes might need a second aerial aimed at an out of area main station in order to receive the COM muxes, or would have to consider satellite reception for additional channels. It is correct that there is no such thing as a "digital aerial". The term is used as a marketing tool to encourage viewers to change their aerials. New installations would be expected to inlude an aerial fitted with a PCB balun and double screened cable to minimise interference pick-up which is the main enemy of digital reception, but any aerial that works properly in a given location is considered suitable.
Mike Dimmick
Thursday 14 April 2011 2:07PM
Roydonian, A Decore: These channels are carried on the ArqB multiplex. This is using the channel that Multiplex B used before switchover, so if you had problems with that (BBC Four, CBeebies, BBC radio stations, Sky Sports 1 & 2) last month, it's not surprising you're having trouble with ArqB now. In addition, ArqB requires about twice as much power to work as Mux B used to, so if Mux B was marginal, ArqB is likely to not work.

If you provide a full postcode we can see if this temporary location is expected to work for you, and therefore you have a problem with your installation, or if it's just not practical to receive it at the moment.

The multiplex can't move to its final location, C48, as that's being used by low-power digital services at Sudbury until mid-July, Belmont until mid-August and a number of Sutton Coldfield's relays for BBC Two until 7 September.

Postcode mk46 5es, we have a Sagem PVR 7280 T digibox.

We lost BBC for 10 days initally, as of the 10th it returned with pixellation on all of the BBC channels all of the time: very bad in the evening with the sound and picture really distorted.

We are regulary retuning but often only pick up 40 channels, max we have achieved is 102. The signal power values are way down when we check those. All of our neighbours are on Sky or Virgin so we have nobody else to compare to.

We are on a hill at one of the higher points in the town; we have checked the leads on the tv etc. and our aerial.

Is there something wrong with the signal strength from Sandy Heath, or could we be getting interference from a relay station? Is there something we may not have considered? We were about to buy a Humax digibox - maybe a more up-to date system would be a solution?

Thank you!

The charts (or graphical) information on two web pages for the Sandy Heath transmitter ( www.ukfree.tv link icon Sandy Heath digital TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice and www.ukfree.tv link icon Freeview on Sandy Heath TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice ) are still rather confusing, even though the initial error re. C67 (Arqiva B) has been corrected since the early hours of April 13th.

But why show the TEMPORARY (i.e. currently correct) frequency for Arqiva B yet show the FINAL 'resting' frequencies (i.e. currently incorrect) for Arqiva A and SDN. I realise that the "¶ NOTE:" underneath the charts explains all, but, as they say, "a picture paints a thousand words....."

We need some kind person to put charts in for 13th April to 30th August 2011, 31 August to 13th September 2011, 14th September to 22nd November 2011, and 23rd November 2011 onwards.

adrienne -
Your postcode on the Digital UK postcode checker suggests 100% reception. You may have too much signal, and a plug in attenuator may be the answer. BBC channels went full power on the 30th which is when you say the problem stated.

Yan Lee: Unfortunately the software really only supports 'before Freeview' - 'low power DTT' - 'after switchover'. It wasn't designed to support so many changes both before and after switchover.

The only exception I can think of is Rowridge, which shows before and after 25 March 2009.

Digital UK's postcode checker (trade view) shows all events that are currently planned, and what that will do to your reception.

We're also somewhat behind Digital UK in terms of information because the broadcasters are changing it at the last minute and Ofcom aren't keeping up. Other than scraping the DUK trade view, there's not a lot we can do (and DUK don't publish the power levels). (DUK is mainly a front for the broadcasters.).

CM19 5EA is the postcode. The aerial is about 15 years old, but I recently fitted a new masthead preamp and rewired the run to the TV in the correct type of coax for digital.

Well where do i start!

BEFORE the switchover we were getting Dave,Davejauvu,E4+1,Sky Three (pick tv) pretty much 95% of the time since 2007.

AFTER the March switchover at Sandy Heath we gained new stations BBC1,BBC2,BBC3,BBC4,BBC News and some other stations.

AFTER the April 13th switchover we have gained some stations but lost others,then some of the new stations we have gained dont work 100% of the time,for instance Dave,Davejauvu,E4+1 now go totaly down when before switchover they were fine 95% of the time, ITV2+1,Challenge,5 Star,5 USA and others also go totaly down and dont work, and we cant even get Film4,Four Music,Virgin,TMZ etc. BEFORE the switchover we could 'sometimes' get Film 4,Virgin,TMZ etc on rare ocasions.

We have a high end Panasonic freeview,dvd & video recorder combi,a high end 42" LG HDTV with built in freeview, and a high end Samsung 23" HDTV with built in Freeveiw.

We are in Hilgay near Downham Market.

Hi,

I live in Luton, postcode LU2 0BL and since the switchover reception on all channels execpt the BBC ones (such as Channel4, ITV etc) is awful, pixelation and breaking, no sound etc. Even though I also have freeview HD on my new TV I do not receive any HD channels.

I don't know if I am doing something wrong and I have retuned multiple times hoping it would fix it. I don't know if it is the area etc or just me.

Any advice is more than appreciated.

Thanks
KMJ,Derby
Saturday 16 April 2011 1:15PM
Dimitry:The Digital UK postcode checker shows Freeview reception to be available from 3 transmitter sites. If your aerial is pointing at Sandy Heath you should currently have good reception on the PSB muxes only. You would expect to receive additionally Mux ArqB from 14th September 2011, Mux ArqA from 23rd November 2011 and MuxA/SDN from April 2012.If your aerial has vertical rods it is pointing at the Luton relay and should give good signals on the 3 PSB muxes only. If you are using this transmitter check that you have tuned in to C50, C59 and C55 and not signals earlier in the scan from Sandy Heath or Crystal Palace. Similarly if using Sandy Heath make sure D3+4 is on C24. Check channel list in the 800s for duplicate channels that might work correctly. The Crystal Palace transmitter offers all muxes but with poor to variable reception. Another possibility if you have amplification on the aerial is too much signal. Use an attenuator or remove the amplifier if this is the problem. Check the condition of cables and connectors. You really should expect good digital reception if analogue used to be good.

See previous post Sat16Apr 0910hrs.
In desperation have unplugged Sky and Freesat dishes and plugged aerial direct to TV. Now get all channels (TV says 52) and can use ok with dishes plugged back in. ESPN shows in channel list, but SkySp1/2 don't. Should the also appear in list? Can then view ESPN ok on BTVision. As I plug Sky and Freesat back into mains or dish leads to wall sockets ESPN disapears, but still get all other channel, including 19-Dave. Only link of all leads is at wall sockets.(4leads from loft to wall sockets on seperate plugs in loft but two double plates at wall socket.) Should that be a problem?

Good afternoon, since the switchover and retuning several times I get all the channels but keep losing signal completely ( no signal message on screen) and pixilation keeps occurring.

Chris,
There seems to be conflicting information regarding the power levels of PSB 1,2 and 3.from Sandy Heath
180 KW being the final power however, there is also information i.e. from BBC digital switchover roadshow which supports my theory that 180 KW is not being used. Whether the signal is directional and does output 180 KW in some directions is not clear. The answer from the BBC is, until Rowridge Analogue is switched off in Spring 2012, Sandy Heath will not be at 180 KW. this transmitter uses the same PSB channels.
In South Lincolnshire (PE11 2RX)all services are very good indeed on all 6 multiplexes, HD is truly excellent and the correct screen format

SDN will then temporarily move to channel 31 (at 20kW ERP) on 31 Aug 2011, before adopting its final allocation of channel 51 on 18th April 2012. Arqiva A will adopt its final allocation of channel 52 on 23 Nov 2011. Arqiva B will temporarily move to channel 67 (at 20kW ERP) at switchover and then it will adopt its final allocation of channel 48 on 14 Sept 2011. NOTE: D3&4 and HD use transitional S1 antenna until 27 June 2012. "

why is it possible for my Toshiba tv able to continue to receive channel 12 wheras my new Samsung tv will no longer tune to channel 12. This has happened since the digital switchover. Previous to switchover both tv's received Channel 12. Both tvs receive the same aerial signal by means of a distribution amplifir placed in the loft.

Thanks Briantist.
Yes its definitely 'single frequency interference' as those other channels on the list have gone as well.
Coming up is lawn mower and motorbike season which are usually random channel killers.

Just checked at see that the mux is on ch67, right at the end of the spec for the aerial
-and then transmitted on a low power-
So not much hope at all then till September?
ITV4 will not be missed as they been showing the same programmes for 7 years.
