Emley Moor (Kirklees, England) transmitter
Tuesday 25 September 2012 11:30AM

Hi, I live in the BD6 area of Bradford and receive my Freeview and digital radio signals from Emley Moor transmitter. Yesterday and today I have noticed a poor sound quality on BBC1 TV and on BBC Radio2. Are there any engineering works going on at the moment regarding the poor sound quality. The TV sound was distorted and the digital radio sound was breaking up. Any comment please?

BBC Radio 1,2,3 and 4 on my digital radio is still very distorted after retuning etc. It only started being distorted at about 11.15 this morning 25/09/12. Other programmes such as BBC Radio Leeds are fine. There must be something happening with the BBC radio stations.

I am having a problem with BBC Radios 1,2,3 and 4 on DAB having very distorted sound quality. It has only just started doing this at 11.15am this morning 25/09/12. Been working great upto now. I live in the BD6 area of Bradford on high ground looking towards Emley Moor transmitter. BBC Radio Leeds is fine and so are some other stations but not the main BBC Radio stations. Any comments please?

MikeP: I live in Bradford BD5 9EX area and a couple months ago I had a new aerial fitted by a professional engineer and all my Freeview channels were perfect on signal strength 10. I have recently noticed the HD channels have been losing their strength down to 5 or lower. Is there any reason for this? Any transmitter works going on I don't know about. I think my aeriel is pointing to the Idle or Shipley transmitter.

MikeB: I have checked my transmitter details and my HD channels are coming from the North East transmitter which I presume is Bilsdale? All my other std Freeview channels are coming from Yorkshire transmitter Idle/Shipley which are on full strength.
Why aren't the HD channels coming from the Yorkshire transmitter, seems odd.
When I tune my TV I have a region choice but I always select the Yorkshire region.

MikeB: When my aerial engineer installed my aerial on the roof he pointed it towards the Idle transmitter but it also will pick up North East too on the Bilsdale transmitter .
Now when I retune my Freeview channels it gives me a choice of either Yorkshire or North East. I choose Yorkshire because I want the local BBC and ITV news.
You just have to accept the Best signal quality or the regional settings on my TV.

MikeB: Why can I only receive 6 HD channels from the Idle transmitter in Bradford West Yorkshire when there should be 12 from other transmitters such as Emley Moor?

Richard Cooper: I cannot receive channel 82 Vintage TV and Talking Pictures. I only get 7 HD channels when I think I should be getting 14.
Not sure which transmitter I am on, maybe the Idle or Wharfedale transmitter in Yorkshire
I live in BD5 9EX

StevensOnln1: Hiya, how come that if I recieved the BBC4HD channel 106 on Freeview HD from the Idle transmitter in Yorkshire then why cannot I get it now after re-tuning my TV? I think the BBC can pick and choose as to what they want you to watch. I think Freeview HD is a bit messed up at moment with some people being able to get channels and others not.
