Hello
I hope you are the right people to address with this issue. In the past two weeks our TV set has temporarily lost its signal. It has always come back, but with varying degrees of efficiency. We are gradually preparing for the switchover, and have the new TV set, but not yet the digital box nor the satellite dish. We have, however, paid our TV licence in full until the end of May 2012 and expect a faultless reception or a refund. Please undersdtand how annoying it is to lose the signal during important programmes such as the Budget speech on the BBC News. Please advise
Thank you

Petra Gensch: You pay your TV Licence because you own a TV set, and the BBC use the money to make and broadcast programmes.

However, it does not cover payment for fixing your reception problems.

I suggest you have a look at www.ukfree.tv link icon Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice but you should probably consult a local installer and get them to fix your reception problem.

m kinsella: Please turns off Caps Lock - typing in capitals is akin to shouting and is therefore rude!

It may help others who may wish to help you that you have already asked the question once and a suggestion has been provided. The previous discussion is here: Crystal Palace digital switchover date | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice

You say you have Meridian, but from which transmitter? It would help to know what you have so as to know what you are seeking to avoid!

Select ITV Meridian, bring up the signal strength screen and see if it says what UHF channel it is tuned to. This will tell us what transmitter it is. I am anticipating it is C24, providing that the last time you ran the automatic tuning scan you unplugged the aerial when it got to 30% as I suggested.

m kinsella: If you run the scan and unplug at 30%, you should have the aerial unplugged for channels/frequencies above CP. If you are still picking up Meridian then, without confirmation, I would assume that it is picking up the Meridian from Bluebell Hill which is within the window you have your aerial plugged in for. Channels are as follows:

22 CP ITV1 [Mux 2]
23 CP BBC One (full power) [BBC A]
24 BB ITV1
27 BB ITV3
28 CP BBC Four [Mux B] - probably not needed
29 CP Yesterday [Mux D]
32 CP ITV3 [Mux A]
34 CP Pick TV [Mux C]

Channel scan is 21 to 69. Unplugging at 30% is around C35.

I suggest that you are seeking to avoid C24 and C27, as above. This is why I suggest you check which channel ITV Meridian is on.

If so, then I would run the tuning scan with the aerial unplugged, plug in at 15% and unplug at 30%. This will have your aerial unplugged for 24 and 27 (which you don't want). It will also have missed out BBC from CP, so you need to go to manual tune and tune to C23 to add this.

Likewise, ITV1 will be missing, so go to manual tune again and go to C22. If you are missing Yesterday on number 12, then manual tune to C29. And ITV3 is C32.

See here for list of services on each mux:

www.ukfree.tv link icon Freeview multiplexes | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice

Mux B on C28 is probably not needed as it duplicates services already on BBC A (C23).

I am able to receive bbc 4 and cbbs on my digital tv near Boulogne France ( Wimereux)but no other freview stations except sometimes one of the shopping channels. I think I am receiving the tv signal from Dover. The aerial is on the roof of a high building near the channel. When the analogue signal is switched off and the digital signal enhanced, what are the chances of receiving all freeview programs?

Thanks for your help

m kinsella: easier option is 2 wait until 18th and then re-tune. As Crystal Place will be on full power 4 both commercial and BBC. Trust me a wire will then pickup the signal at 200kw.

m kinsella: I would second David's suggestion!

It should sort itself out then. In the mean time, switch to analogue to watch BBC and ITV regional programmes.

Chris Baldwin: Try tuning to Dover's analogue services which are 50, 56, 66 and 53.

It does depend on whether there are any French transmitters that are co-channel that may interfere at your location.

The green coverage area above suggests that along the French coast it may be possible to pick it up.

Due to the fact that the powers that be will not release the radition patterns of Dover's post-DSO multiplexes, the above is an assumption.

Just wondered why different transmitters in the South East will have different 'transmission power' values post DSO.

I'm in Ashford, some parts of which have traditionally had poor coverage from Dover. Like many others, my rooftop aerial was changed to 'point the other way' to Heathfield and the signal boosted to get any chance of Freeview coverage, which is 'sort of' OK most of the time.

Obviously it will get much better when Heathfield gets DSO, but I note that Heathfield goes from 1.6kW/1kW to 20kW 'post DSO' whereas Dover goes from 2kW/1kW/500W to 80kW/40kW.
