Hi Guys,
When Freeview Digital was first started I
purchased a box but got "no signal" message
(see original posts)
After full switch over all worked ok, except I had to buy two new TV's.
My house is in a dead spot and analogue
reception was never very good.
Yesterday I turned on TV and we were back to
the state we were in before, with no signal
messages and frozen picture etc.
Nothing has changed with my aerial etc.
Have they reduced the signal strength?Dave Taylor: I have read back your postings.
I have observed that the White Oak Leisure Centre could be in the (or under the) signal path at 850m away (just over half a mile). I mention this because it appears to have a large metalic content.
This terrain plot shows that you could have line-of-sight, assuming no obstructions:
Terrain between ( m a.g.l.) and (antenna m a.g.l.) - Optimising UK DTT Freeview and Radio aerial location
Perhaps the poor reception at your location is caused reflections that are acting to reduce the quality or signal strength. D
Dave TaylorWednesday 8 August 2012 3:27PM
What I can't understand is why I've suddenly
lost the signal unless the power from the transmitter has fallen.
Could well be White Oak Centre causing a
dead spot.
Don't have line of sight to transmitter as
I'm down a dip.

However the reception predictor indicates Crystal Palace as being able to provide a good signal at your location, but though the aerials referred to appear to be pointing towards Guildford and likewise mounted vertically, and although Guildford is also indicated as receivable at your location its not quite at Crystal Palace levels.
That said, if your box has a manual tuning facility then for a test go into the tuning menu - "manual tune" and enter Ch23 (BBC from Crystal Palace) then press search or scan and see if anything comes up, if not change to number to Ch43 (BBC Guildford) and carry out the same test, giving an update on results.
It would also be of assistance to know the brand / model of box you are using.

Dave TaylorSunday 12 August 2012 8:19PM
Just to update you about my problem.
Having had no signal for some days I was going to get out my three piece ladder on Saturday to check the aerial.
I turned on TV to try it and lo and behold
the signal had returned and all was back to
normal.Still don't know what the cause was,
Just another of lifes mysteries I guess

JB38.Not particularly aware of the postcode reception predictor being faulty last night,but i was certainly aware of gremlins elsewhere on this site as i was unable to respond to any texters yesterday as well as unable to click on any other link without the associated gobbledegook cropping up.
It appears that the postcode predictor on this site is functioning again as i am staying in Barnsley this week and hopefully by typing in the postcode of my recent holiday in St Annes (end of June 2012),Lytham St Annes crops up instead it for now (postcode predictor) should be working normally once again,fingers crossed !

Main development: I took the digibox to my father's house half a mile away, where reception used to be worse pre-switchover, and where he used a loft aerial. Sure enough, signal strength on the digibox was about 49%. but signal quality was rock solid at 98%, pretty consistently over the muxes. I checked by phone that the HD recorder was still playing up at home at the same time.
This contrasts with the same digibox at out house showing signal strength of 85-90% and signal quality varying (and I mean varying, as you watch it) of 70-85% on UHF Ch 23 and 26 and 45-65% on the others. The corresponding readings on the HD recorder are 70-75% strength and 48-63% and 25-60% quality. These readings are for when there is a problem. When there isn't (typically in the afternoons) quality is consistent at around 75 or 70%.
So, it's not the digibox (or presumably the recorder) gone wrong. It is the signal quality, or the variation in the signal quality. The digital TV can cope with this but the digibox and recorder cannot.
I intend to do the same test next door when the neighbours are back, which should indicate whether it is the signal coming into the aerial or something between aerial and equipment. That "something" might be a powered signal splitter (and presumably amplifier) in the loft, given that could simply be amplifying errors, but the same setup has been working fine for years, and for several months post-switchover. And the signal strength reported by the HD recorder (and the digibox?) does not seem excessive on the face of it. I'm reluctant to mess around when I still think the incoming signal may be at fault, to the extent that the HD recorder thinks a dodgy signal from elsehwere is better. I have already had engineers round checking that the signal coming from the aerial is OK. They reported that it was fine at around 70% BUT when they came the setup seemed to be behaving I don't know for sure that they also looked at signal quality.
I was surprised that everything functioned with only 49% signal strength but I was even more surprised at the very high signal quality. What should I expect for quality? Should it work on a nice consistent 70% quality, say?
I have a horrible feeling that the answer to this one is "it depends", but would my Toshiba recorder base its retuning decision on strength, quality or a mixture of both?
Annoyingly, none of the televisions we have appear to indicate strength and quality separately, simply giving an overall measure.
The only other possibility I can think of which is unrelated to what is emerging from Crystal Palace, is the Shard. I dismissed this in my mind as the building was essentially there for some time before its opening a few weeks back, but is it possible that some cladding was added late in the day? I know that a small area of Ponders End had issues with Canary Wharf, for example, so a very localised effect is not impossible.

Does anyone know where one can find information regarding what the changes are each time?
Due to the height of my block I have to manually tune all 5 of my receivers (TV, DVD, PC & 2 x PVR) to prevent reception from other transmitters.
This is only worth it if the changes are relevant to me. I'm not interested in data & chat channels (& most of the TV channels to be honest, the guy who sang "57 channels & nothing on" was a prophet for our times).M

So we have:
- digital TVs that work fine on our signal;
- a digibox and a HD recorder which do not work on our signal, producing a lot of pixellation and breakup, but the digibox does work next door and (in a dip) at my father's house. I haven't moved the HD recorder but I am assuming it would also work elsewhere;
- one older digital TV (not mentioned before) which is a bit iffy;
- results similar whichever TV points I use, and whatever configurations of equipment and cabling I use.
- it was worse in mornings and evenings, but more recently yhe problem seems to there all day.
- an aerial engineer confirmed some weeks a go that the signal as received at the TV point was OK, but (a) I'm not sure he looked at quality as wella s strength and (b) it was behaving when they called.
So it appears that the digibox, HD recorder and (to some extent) older digital TV cannot cope with the low (and highly variable) signal quality, but the newer digital TVs can.
There are four TV points in the house, fed from a rooftop aerial with a distribution amplifier/splitter in the loft. As far as I know there is no masthead amplifier (not sure how I can tell, though).
If I switch off the amplifier, the signal goes, as I would expect. So to test if it is the problem I would have to mess around up in the loft playing around with what I have found in the past to be rather awkward connections.
With this setup, is it possible that I could have too much signal strength, and that quality problems not apparent next door are being amplified into something which is upsetting half my equipment?
Is there anything else I can try?
J
jb38Friday 31 August 2012 12:39AM
The statements referred to being:
>> Our main TV is analogue so has to be fed by either out Toshiba RDXV59DTJB2 HDD recorder or our (very) old Sagem Freeview box. <<
>> Is it plausible that the recorder and Freeview boxes are unable to cope with quality variations that are no problem to the TV? <<
What TV is being referred to in the latter statement?
However no matter what is being referred to it should be appreciated that no two Freeview devices have the same sensitivity tuners unless they are identical models to each other, this being the cause of the differences in performance that you have noticed, Panasonic TV's and Humax boxes being devices fitted with two of the best tuners around, and capable of giving reasonably glitch free reception in circumstances where other devices would be glitching every 30 secs or so.
The other point to remember being, that if when observing a signal its strength and quality is seen to be continually fluctuating (especially quality) when its known that your aerial is electrically sound as far as bad connections are concerned, then the problem is in effect out with your control, as its liable to be caused by either atmospheric reasons allowing distant stations to be picked up thereby blocking local reception, or that the problem is due to the intermittent effect of tree foliage blowing about, worse obviously if wet.
In both cases about the only thing a person can do is make sure that the signal being received is at a high enough level above their receivers cut off threshold whereby when the signal drifts downwards its still above the cut off point and not constantly dipping under it.
Occasionally moving the aerial a few feet either way (left or right) can help the situation, but frequently its at the expense of some other mux, so its really a hit and miss situation. M

The other TVs in the house are digital, an LG, a Mikomi (Argos own brand?) and a Samsung borrowed from my father. The Mikomi was a bit iffy on Ch 22/23/28 muxes at times but the others were working fine.
I said "were", you may have noticed. The LG got really bad on those muxes a couple of nights ago, and the digibox has also started playing up. The Mikomi also got much worse. No footie for me last night!
Then today I switched off the distribution amplifier in the loft, expecting this to lose nearly all the signal. But no, the HD recorder worked fine. So too the Samsung and the LG, though later that started to be really bad on the Ch 26 mux. The Mikomi in the kitchen seemed to lose signal altogether, but at the main TV point it worked better than usual. So, for the first time, I was onserving differences between different TV points in the house.
The signal strength shown on the kit that can show it was a lot lower. Quality seemed more settled (and sometimes consistently high) - except where a tuner was having problems. The digibox is better, but not by much.
This does seem to suggest that the problem for the HD recorder was too strong a signal. But reducing the overall signal by switching off the amp seems to cause other kit problems, at least in some locations. Trying to amplify it at some points and attenuate it in others would surely be a complex trial and error exercise.
Every time I write this stuff up, something else occurs which does not seem to fit the pattern. I'm starting to think that the distribution amp is malfunctioning, particularly as the problems were not there until a few weeks ago. Deterioration of internal cable, perhaps?
Outside foliage seems an unlikely culprit, as next door, with a similar aerial (and similar Freeview via a box) setup shows nice level quality. The main change in the immediate locality has actually been the removal of a large pine!
The whole think s starting to make my head hurt!J
jb38Friday 31 August 2012 11:11PM
The point about this situation being, that you must be receiving a reasonably good level of signal at your location for it to overcome the attenuation effect of an unpowered amplifier being in line, and so although I realise that you obviously require the distribution amplifier for purposes of feeding the signal to other locations its possible that the overall signal level created by this is slightly too high (for some devices) whereby an attenuator being placed in-line with the amplifiers "input" could help the situation, as an excessive level of signal displays exactly the same symptoms to one that's on the weak side, including "false" low signal indications caused by instability in the tuner.
I would therefore suggest that you try a test on one of the TV's by connecting its feed directly onto the aerial lead that feeds into the distribution amplifier albeit I do realise that in most cases this is a bit inconvenient to arrange, but though its the type of test that is necessary to evaluate what's happening.
Another point to note is, and although very unlikely to be applicable in your situation, but on "some" occasions when the signal quality is observed to be continually fluctuating this can also be due to a signal being on the verges of being excessively high, because signals in non line-of-sight situations tend to drift up and downwards in strength throughout a 24 hour period, and if they are hovering at the top end of high (with good quality) and they drift slightly further upwards then as soon as that happens the quality drops, this resulting in the fluctuations referred to.
J
jb38Saturday 1 September 2012 7:33AM
The procedure is to have the amplifier switched on and carry out a signal strength / quality on a reasonably stable channel noting the readings, then connect the TV' aerial feed straight into the aerial and carry out a second check noting what the difference is, and provided an excessive level of signal is not upsetting the readings what's indicated with the direct aerial connection should be "slightly" lower than before.
If though its higher, then either the amp is defective or the signal level is excessive.
By the way, I will not personally be available to give further assistance until about next weekend as I will be on holiday, although someone else will probably answer any query you might have. M

I had wondered about putting an attenuator in line near the equipement but it would be guesswork as to how much I need.
Carrying TVs or other digital equipment up to the loft is liable to result in not having said digital equipment in working condition any more, which is one reason why I have not tried it yet. (Would a long cable down to floor level be expected to work? Think I've got some spare cable - without connectors - somewhere. I suppose that with a suitable connector - whatever it might be - I could connect each cable directly to the aerial as well.) The other is that the connections look awkward to me, and if there is a way of terminally messing up the cable, I will probably find it!
I think it is clear that the amp was amplifying the signal that the digibox and HD recorder were using, as the signal strength they show is markedly lower without and the signal has either been lost or is seriously degraded at other points. That's not the test you suggest, of course. I've been careful to say "amplifying the signal" rather than "working" because it might be doing so in a highly variable manner. If the PSU is giving a jerky supply, might that cause the behaviour I am observing? PSUs are usually presented as being specific to one device but I think I have a variable one knocking around somewhere, so it might be worth trying that (cue exploding amp in loft...).
Whatever is going on, it is something that has only been going on seriously for about eight weeks. As the aerial signal seems strong enough unamplified, and the kit I have tried elsewhere works fine, a malfuctioning amp does seem to be the fault that best fits the bill.
However, thinking about it, there have been some smaller, easily dismissed, deteriorations before this. In particular, I have a TV card in my computer connected to one point, and 9 times out of 10 I get a green mass of pixellation at the foot of the picture. Yet 1 time out of 10 it is fine! That's been the case since I got the computer a couple of years ago, but of course the cause could be completely, er, unconnected.
As it happens, I have even got the digibox working off the unamplified signal at the main point this morning. It does seem inconsistent, and I do worry that deterioration arising from the constant swapping around of cables might itself be an issue. I think I'll leave well alone for the weekend and see what happens.
Just for the record, there are four outputs from the amp, servicing five TV points. One of the cables must split out of sight; I think this is the one to the points which now seem dead, which makes sense as they would get the least signal at all.
Finally, thanks for all your help, and enjoy your holiday!

He said that the aerial was actually picking up too much signal. Also that when I unplugged the splitter/amp, the improved (but still variable) signal seen on the main TV was being picked up purely by the cable between the splitter and the aerial point, that cable being high quality and (if it matters) outside the house.
This begs a number of questions (though I am not too worried now everything is fine). If the aerial signal was too strong, how did it work before? My guess is that when it was working properly the amplification was less than the attenuation provided by splitting. At some stage it stopped splitting the signal properly, hence overload on some aerial points and poor or no signal on others. But what do I know?
Anyway, I have to eat humble pie about blaming it all on the Crystal Palace signal.
The other question, I suppose, is why the excessive signal was not diagnosed by the earlier technicians I had in. In their defence, things seemed to be working OK that morning, and the deterioration at other times was less than more recently; they only checked the output at one aerial point as well, rather than the input to the splitter.
So long and thanks for all the fish...E

Further info dependant on findings.
