I have to agree with Michael Smith. I'm in Wisbech and for a brief time about three retunes back I was able to receive all the digital channels from Sandy Heath. Now I get zero signal strength from MUXC(52) and ARQB(48). Do the advertisers who pay for these channels know about the many people who cannot receive them. This whole switchover procedure has been a complete shambles and seems aimed at driving people away from terrestrial TV and towards Sky.

Aerial in loft.
interfernce after retuning on BBC1 and BBC2 on the last two days. ITV and Channel 4 are fine.
Any suggestions please?

Christina McCaffrey,Bedford.Hard to say without a full postcode.Single frequency interference could be the issue here.The BBCA mux on Sandy Heath is on frequency 27,is your loft aerial polarised horizontally in which case it will be receiving transmissions as such from the main Sandy Heath transmitter.If it's polarised vertically then your transmissions will come from a local relay as such.

Hi, I'm in Little Stanion in Northants just outside Corby NN18 8SB (nearest alternative postcode is NN18 8EY). Got a local installer to install a loft aerial and he's turned out to be worse than useless.

On main tv signal quality on most muxes it up at around 90-100/100 after turning the gain on the 4 way amplifier right up. Signal strength is at no higher than 24/100 (8/100 before I re-made up all his BNC ends!).

Regardless this doesn't seem to a problem for most channels. the HD channels suffer with intermittent drops in signal quality down to 0 for a few seconds, with no picture or major pixellation, before returning up to around 95/100. Strength is lower at around 18/100.

I can't get any of the Mux A channels.

The aerial guy is fobbing me off with every excuse under the sun- its the TV (brand new sony bravia that was fine when pointing to Oxford in my old house), it's the transmitter(checked several times on here- no major problems), we're in a bad signal area (everything seems to point to it not being THAT bad!).

Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks

Shaun Southall: Mux A (SDN) does not go to full power until next year.

I've seen comments made on here by professionals about new houses tending to have rooves that can reduce signal strength.

Could you not have had the aerial fitted outside?
Shaun Southall
Saturday 17 December 2011 9:28PM
@Dave Lindsay - thanks, not really unfortunately. I plan to have a dish on the front of the house so dish plus aerial would probably have the builders running round trying to pull them both down!

Would it make sense to try a stronger aerial? It looks like he's used a very short DM log periodic...
Charles Stuart
Sunday 18 December 2011 11:50PM
@ Shaun Southall

Yes, a high gain aerial will help. Aerials are actually very easy to fit, if the cabling is in place. Just disconnect the current aerial making sure that you know precisely where it's pointing (put a line on the loft floor). Connect the new aerial and attach to the pole in place of the old one.

You can get a high gain aerial from Homebase for about £30. However, I have no idea how good it is. You might wish to buy a very high gain aerial, though they're expensive and you risk having a signal that's too strong.

You could also try turning the existing aerial to try and pick up signals from Waltham instead. You'll get East Midlands local TV instead of East but otherwise it'll be the same. You'll need a compass and to know the number of degrees from north of the Waltham transmitter.

After you've got the aerial in the right position, try to tune the STB. If you get a signal, see how strong it is. If not at maximum, move the aerial slightly. It's trial and error until you get it right and a second person is useful. Humans make good TV aerials, so no one should touch it when reading the signal strength. My experience is that walls do strange things with the directionality of TV signals, sometimes meaning that you need to be up to 10° off the actual direction.

I live on the extreme eastern edge of Sandy's coverage (Breckland) but since the recent changes, I am getting perfect reception of ALL Muxes, with very little signal/quality difference between them - that is on the communal Ant. On a separate WB ant, aimed at Tacolneston (with a masthead pre-amp) - again all very good, even getting most of Sandy from the back. I'm wondering if folks having reception problems, are using very old ant's & equipment?
jb38
Wednesday 21 December 2011 5:36PM
Bob: Nice to know that, but Breckland covers a very large area and a few test p/codes I tried all indicated reception of Tacolneston as being excellent in all of them, albeit Sandy not! so purely out of interest as well as for reference purposes, maybe you could provide the first part of your post code to at last get a rough idea of your locality, as I cant help but feel you are in a lucky spot for reception.
Bob
Wednesday 21 December 2011 8:52PM
JB38- just a little way up the Bury Rd, Brandon, just to the south of the high street - IP27 - aerials in Brandon point both east & west, it also depends if you have trees VERY near to you - but I suspect most of Brandon is now getting good signals from both Sandy & Tac, the new map on the site does need some tweaking I would think! Of course at both TX masts, there is an increase in height - that must be helping. This location used to be useless when sandy was on C67.

Bob: Well as you will probably realise these predictor sites have elements of "hit and miss" built into them, as forecasting the path of any radio frequency signal that's not of a frequency that's received via a dish is notoriously difficult to do with accuracy, that is unless in an area known to be reasonably flat (Fenlands etc) enabling partial line of sight operation, and so educated guesswork based on the results of a few tests seems to be the order of the day, at least nowadays!

I tried an IP27 test code ending in 0QN and observed that Tacolneston indicated good reception right across the board, albeit with its SDN mux on Ch42 running at just under 75% power, Sandy also being similar on all muxes with the exception of its low powered (20Kw) SDN mux on Ch31, Sudbury though only being OK on its PSB muxes until June 2012 when the commercial muxes come onboard.

As you have mentioned, trees and all sorts of other things can upset prediction forecasts, and so I really use them for reference purposes as there isn't really any alternative, this being why I was interested in what you reported as I regard it as a form of field test for the area, as most queries / comments are based on a complaint of something not working.

I did a retune on one of my STBs today and noticed that the MUX on channel 52 is now 8K. Also, has the MUX on channel 48 increased in power? I ask because I can now receive it on my computer, which uses an indoor aerial in a bad location (the only location available).
KMJ,Derby
Monday 26 December 2011 12:27AM
Charles Stuart: Both C52 and C48 are 8k mode and are transmitted at 170kW. That just leaves MuxA/SDN on C31 still using 2k mode at 20kW.

I have a problem with a matsui box ref DTR3 we were given and on first time of tuning and all fine on a hitachi flat screen, and now box wont even power up,someone told me that some transmitters will knock out older freeview boxes, is that correct??
many thanks
malcolm
we are on sandy heath
Dave Lindsay
Thursday 29 December 2011 3:12PM
malcolm: Some boxes are not designed to receive the latest (post-switchover) digital signals. Those signals do not stop the boxes from switching on; they just won't pick up any channels.

Google Matsui DTR3 and you will see postings on the same problem you have; the thing won't power up.

It seems to be a regular fault with this model's power supply and people report that it can be fixed with replacement of a couple of components. If you know someone who is a dab hand with a soldering iron, it could perhaps be repaired.

Tuesday 3 January 2012 12:17PM
Is the power level on the Mux that provides channels 10& 38 going to be increased or is it at it's final level as I cannot get a decent signal strength any more. This is sine the last changes at the end of November.
Dave Lindsay
Tuesday 3 January 2012 12:35PM
Paul: It is on low power until 27th June when it will be increased to its final power level which is the same as that of the commercial multiplexes now.

Hello

We had a new digital aerial fitted to our roof in October. Along with most of the houses in the area this is pointed to Crystal Palace although your map suggests Sandy Heath is more appropriate.

We were receiving all the Freeview HD channels fine up till the middle of December - the HD signal quality was between 5 and 7 while the SD channels were 10.

From mid December the HD channel quality has dropped significantly. The signal is sometimes lost completely or very low with a high error rate (which is giving us pixellated pictures).

The same engineer came back out. He advised that the aerial was fine as was the signal strength. He suggested the problems may be due to increased interference from Sandy Heath (for the HD channels). When quizzed why it should be happening now he suggested it may be due to the leaves falling off the trees!?

We have not made any changes to the equipment.

The engineer suggested a stronger amplifier which was supposed to "hold" the picture better. However this is giving no improvement and now the signal is mostly rubbish.

All the other SD channels are fine so the only problem is with HD.

The engineers suggested that this may be a continuing problem up till the London switch-over in April.

My questions are as follows:
- is the explanation regarding the drop off is HD signal quality reasonable?
- is there anything that can be done to alleviate it (for example should I consider pointing the aerial to Sandy Heath)

Any assistance you can provide would be most gratefully received.

Regards
Shane

Hi Dave
Many thanks for this....looks like we will have to put up with it for a while yet before we get back to the quality of the past.

Shane Brown: I think that the best thing is to bear with it for three months more. Not ideal I know.

The thing with the digital HD signal from Crystal Palace is that it is lower power than the other (standard definition) digital channels. The reason for this is because of lack of spare frequencies. Sandy Heath uses the same frequency for one of its multiplexes and this is currently on low power until Crystal Palace switches.

Crystal Palace was one of four transmitters in the country chosen to carry HD before their switchover. So you're lucky to get any HD before switchover at all.

The only thing you could try at no cost is to manually tune to Ch21 which is Sandy Heath's HD multiplex. If it works, it's a bodge because the aerial is pointing in the wrong direction, but it might produce a more stable result. You might need to delete the four HD channels in the 50s (how exactly you do it will depend on the design of your receiver).

As for what it could be, it could be 101 things. Trees can affect TV reception and therefore reception can change as they move or when the leaves grow or fall off. Maybe the tree was acting as a screen to block the signal from Sandy Heath; who knows! At the end of the day it has happened.

A couple of odd questions about your transmitter coverage maps:

(1)
Is it possible to convert the r,g,b values of your google map overlays back into signal levels in dBm?

(2)
Are the google map overlays scaled the same way for each transmitter; ie does the same shade of green always represent the same signal level irrespective of which transmitter coverage map I am viewing?

Any help always appreciated.
Tim.

I can't receive ITV3 from the Sandy Heath Transmitter on both my TV and Humax. I've tried the reset procedure with no success. Your website doesn't show that you transmit ITV3. Is that the case or is there a problem with my reception? If you don't transmit it, do you intend to do so in the future?
Dave Lindsay
Wednesday 29 February 2012 9:41PM

Monday 19 March 2012 5:28PM
Lost VHF Channel 31 and re-tuned to see if we could get CITV and Quest Freeview channels back, however they have completely disappeared. So much for a reliable Freeview service. Sandy needs to start providing reliable service IMHO.
Dave Lindsay
Monday 19 March 2012 5:51PM
Dino: In circumstances such as yours, you would be best advised not to retune because the only possible outcome is that (most likely) you loose the programme channels from your receiver or you get them back. Crucially, the act of retuning cannot have any affect on getting them back, therefore they would have come back anyway if they are back after retuning.

The act of retuning is therefore like shooting oneself in the foot. Only where there is reason to retune, such as a change of channel should retune be carried out.

The only way you are going to get it back is to repeatedly manual tune to channel 31 until it comes back, whereas had it been left, you could simply have select CITV to see if it was back.
Adam B
Monday 19 March 2012 5:53PM Dunstable
Dino:

On the 9th May Mux COM4 will move to UHF CH51, and increase in power from 20KW to 170KW. The current temporary situation is a result of the digital switchover process and will be full resolved on the above date.

Hope this helps,
Adam.

So, who do I really complain to when a transmitter drops power so much that I lose signal?

It *appears* (I am no expert) that the reason I have had no 5*, 5 USA, ITV2+1 etc for months now is that the managers of the Sandy Heath transmitter decided on an order of magnitude decrease in power would not be a problem. Well, for cb2 1re (the little white patch west of cambridge) that drop is enough to lose all channels on that Mux.

Switchover (maybe the shutdown of the Madingly transmitter?) has resulted in a significant loss of access to TV services, often for weeks at a time. There is clearly no hardware faults, as the signal appearance/loss are months apart!

I am at a loss, I am just miles away from a major technicality (Cambridge) and have huge holes in my tv schedule!

Tips?
jb38
Thursday 22 March 2012 7:46AM
Jim chaney: The reason for Sandy's SDN mux being on low power is because it shares Ch31 with Crystal Palaces low powered HD service, however Crystal Palace stops using Ch31 from April 18th but its not until May 9th when a re-tuning event takes place at Sandy that SDN's power increases as well as the channel changing from 31 to 51.

Friday 6 April 2012 7:58PM Brandon
The strange thing is here in Brandon, the fringe of Sandy - there is no difference in the signal strength on C31 or C27 & both are solid no breakup on the channels - odd
Don O'Ketty
Sunday 8 April 2012 8:00AM
I am a bit confused about wild differences in signal strengths I am seeing from Sandy Heath.

I understand why C31 is low, but why do I see this:

C24, Strength 6619069, Quality 100%
C27, Strength 6487999, Quality 98%
C31, Strength 4521926, Quality 68%
C48, Strength 2686917, Quality 40%
C52, Strength 131019, Quality 0%

If there was something wrong with the aerial and the way it was pointing, why would I get virtually perfect signal on two channels and poor (or absent) on others? It's almost like these channels are still on low power?
Bob
Wednesday 11 April 2012 6:52PM Brandon
Don, where are you? - have you upgraded your aerial? If you have an old group A aerial, that will cause your problem. You may need to upgrade to a wideband & perhaps replace the co-ax if it has been there many years.

Thanks for your comments.

My problem arose because I could not find out how to retune. The instruction book had no reference to "retuning". A friend helped me when he pointed out that I had to click on "settings". What's in a name ? CONFUSION !

I have lost Channels 48, 52 and channel for the High Definition . That a huge part of the available offering.

These represent our preferred viewing channels and so are an unwelcome loss that was previously at good strength, then became very pixelated and poor strength a week or so ago.

Why can this be done without regard to viewers. Digital has been pretty good for the last year but now not.

I have tried auto retune and manual return and my experience reflects Don's.

Hi.
I live in Stevenage & was told by a freind to retune my freeview box which i done on Friday 20th April, On doing so most of my channels have moved !! channels like bbc1,bbc2,itc1,channl4,channel5 ect are now on channels 364 365 ect !! the picture that is on channels 1,2 etc is just pixelated!!
