ITV Quality Emley Moor

My parents live in North Leeds - they have recently bought a new
Samsung Digital TV. They tell me that there is often a problem with
the quality of ITV - and ITV alone. I am going to go and have a look
but I thought I would ask here first.

I believe their transmitter is Emley Moor.

Have there been/are there problems with ITV in that area?

There have been interruptions and reduced power in the last month
across all channels but as far as I can recall they have all been
overnight.

I believe that Emley Moor has been particularly affected by poor
quality programmes such as "Grease Is The Word", "The X Factor", "I'm
A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here", and "Tonight With Trevor McDonald."

Viewers of other transmitters are likely to be similarly affected.

I was flicking through the channels the other night & caught an old episode
of Gladiators on ftn. Now that was proper saturday night family
entertainment. Where did it go wrong?

Currently many of the main masts are undergoing maintenance, both
routine and leading up to analogue switch off. Winter Hill seems to
have brief interruptions around 7.30pm-ish most days, during the switch
from main to reserve aerials and back.

Winter Hill is on reduced power most of the week at the moment, there is
something going on on the mast, I think its new antennas being put up.

They have some huge drums of feeder cable at the bottom at least 15 Ft high
and 8 foot wide drums !!

Well firstly a jumped up little caterer* (Gerry Robinson) came along and
then Charles Allen came along, that was the start.

The work is continuing until October, I think it's DSO prep work ?

If any mast gets monitored heavily, Emley Moor is. That's where
Arqiva's engineering base is.

There's a nice log periodic looking up at the Tx aerials.

it...
