The symbol shows the location of the Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) transmitter which serves 1,550,000 homes. The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.
Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) mast?

Ross: The proposal on the table at an international level is to make broadcasting and mobile data 'co-primary' from 2015. That would mean countries would be allowed to launch mobile phone services in 700-800MHz as long as they co-ordinated it with each other and with broadcasting.
Ofcom's starting position does seem to be to reduce the broadcasting spectrum still further. Their consultation Ofcom | Securing long term benefits from scarce spectrum resources - A strategy for UHF bands IV and V has recently closed, but they haven't published any responses yet.
Co-primary does pose a problem because TV multiplexes use 8 MHz bandwidth, while LTE uses multiples of 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20 MHz, ideally 20 MHz for maximum speeds. Within the band defined - it probably would be a new band as the US-defined bands are weird and have gaps! - the spacing between downlink and uplink channels is supposed to be fixed. (The US bands can only support 5 or 10 MHz because of this.) That would probably make fitting LTE in around TV transmissions effectively impossible.
The specifications do allow for Time-Division Duplexing, where signals from phone to tower use the same frequency as from tower to phone, rather than Frequency-Division Duplexing, where the phone-to-tower transmissions are on different frequencies from tower-to-phone. At present, though, the TDD bands are all above 1800MHz, and there aren't many deployments. All existing UK phone networks use FDD.

Quite a few short (30 to 90 second) interruptions over the last couple of days in transmission on specific multiplexes - yesterday (22/6/2012), for instance, the HD mux was interrupted around 17.20 for nearly 2 minutes. No announced work on here though - anyone else had this? Could it be due to bad weather? (53.9577,-1.0823)

Ted Bell.On Wednesday 26 September 2012 once Pontop Pike goes all digital (TV wise) the presently 87.5kw powered ArqB multiplex on frequency 48 will increase in power by very nearly two times to 174kw.It is because one of Pontop Pike's currently low powered pre-digital multiplexes uses frequency 48 too.

My older Lowry Freeview box doesn't seem to work properly. The auto-scan gets as far as channel 52 then completely sticks until I power-cycle it. It's never done this before, and I've tried rescanning 5 times in succession - same issue. Has something changed on Emley Moor's ArqA that it doesn't understand?

Thomas,Leeds.Difficult for me to say but i think your older Lowry freeview box may have had its day.My best advice is to buy a new set-top box.
As for your last sentence nothing has changed on Emley Moor ArqA multiplex on frequency 52 as such.

Hello. I did an automatic scan last night which worked ok on Sagemcom freeview + recorder but my Toshiba Tv has gained the new Ch4 channel on 47 but has lost Ch5+1, ITV3 etc.
Just tried a manual search for ch.51 and it says "signal quality - none, signal level ..." well looks 75 per cent.
Already had new aerial, new tv, any suggestion please ?

Alan.Sheffield,S35 3JH.Well judging by your text you're referring to SDN multiplex on frequency 51 from Emley Moor main transmitter itself.
You may have to perform a reset procedure by unplugging your Toshiba TV from mains for one minute then replug back into mains,then unplug aerial (or aerial connector lead) from the TV's aerial socket and perform an automatic scan from start to finish it will find zero channels yet simultaneously clears yer TV's previous memory as such.Now after this replug the aerial itself back into the TV and this time perform a manual scan instead of Emley Moor's multiplexes starting with SDN on frequency 51,then the rest.It should do the trick.Once done reconnect back to the set up you previously had prior to your current predicament as such,normal service should be re-resumed.

Followed Mark;s instructions, and now everything is Ok except for a poor signal on the problem multiplex on frequency 51, picture freezing most of time, and now also breaking up on other Tv's in house.
Maybe the exceptional weather... but I am fairly certain that the tuner on the Toshiba TV is inferior, and it is at the end of the line as opposed to other TV's and recorders.
On the other hand everything was problem free before I retuned.
Has the signal strength been slightly reduced to accommodate new channels ?
I'll have to experiment a bit over the weekend. Thanks for help.
