RE: [OT] Crystal Palace transmitter problems?
The checker here https://www.radioandtvhelp.co.uk/ says that Crystal Palace is OK but I'm not sure where it gets its information.

Does anyone know if there are problems with the Crystal Palace transmitter at the moment? I can't receive any of BBC 1/2/4, and haven't been able to for a coupla days now. The ITV channels seem to be OK (apart from the content, of course, which is all terrible :-) so if there is a problem it looks like it's just the BBC's multiplex that's affected. -- David Cantrell | London Perl Mongers Deputy Chief Heretic Longum iter est per praecepta, breve et efficax per exempla. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

From: David Cantrell Sent: Tuesday, January 3, 2017 14:48 Does anyone know if there are problems with the Crystal Palace transmitter at the moment? I can't receive any of BBC 1/2/4, and haven't been able to for a coupla days now. I am only using an indoor aerial and do not have a DVB-T2 receiver here so I can't check HD channels. I am missing the SDN multiplex on C25 and the weaker multiplexes. I am receiving BBC A on C23 and Arq A on C22 which according to this page https://ukfree.tv/extras/search frequency/22/23 means I am receiving Crystal Palace as there are only 5 transmitters in England which use those two frequencies and I am not in Hastings, Cumbria, Devon or Wirral. BBC 1, BBC 2, CBBC and CBeebies are fine, so you need to check your aerial. Try retuning channel 23 manually. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

But I also see in EyeTV that while I'm getting a really strong signal it's very low quality, so I suppose there must be something interfering locally. Bugger. I'll try moving the aerial around and stuff when I get home. -- David Cantrell | Reality Engineer, Ministry of Information There are two kinds of security, the one that keeps your sister out, the one that keeps the government out and the one that keeps Bruce Schneier out. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

If you go http://www.bbc.co.uk/reception they will link you through to the Radio and Television Investigation Service at https://www.radioandtvhelp.co.uk/diagnostic/, though they also post directly on the BBC pages of major known problems, like the recent issues in South Wales, South of England and Anglia regions due to high atmospheric pressure. The diagnostic tool is really useful. They also run a telephone advice service on 03700 100 123. Rather amusingly, they even provide advice for satellite and cable transmissions. HTH, Alex [1]Specifically, they say that they: "The Radio and Television Investigation Service helps viewers and listeners investigate and, where possible, resolve interference problems affecting their television and radio reception. Although provided by the BBC, the service covers interference to reception of all UK broadcasters. The service combines the following elements: A general diagnostic analysis of your installation Specific questions relating to the symptoms you are experiencing Advice on the potential source of the problem Guidance on how you may be able to resolve the issue. On occasions this could include an on-site investigation by Ofcom." ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
