Winter Hill BBC2 analogue QRT schedule.

I'm using a newsreader called News Rover, and the half completed message
came about because I don't know how to work it.

Yes, it seems that Emley penetrates to the west far more than WH penetrates
to the east. It's surprising because I believe it doesn't radiate a great
deal of power in that direction, and compared to the height of the hills it
isn't actually all that elevated.

WH reception here is possible in a few places, and these places have, on the
face of it, nothing special about them. Presumably the shape of the hills is
responsible.

Excuse me, but I'm not really up to date with this modern jargon. Does
'very small form-factor' mean 'very small'?

The U link was pulled at 00:26/23 according to the CEEFAX header line.

If they just pulled the U link, wouldn't this leave the analogue transmission
still on air, in RBS mode?

Ah, that rather depends on which link was pulled, doesn't it?

Well, turning off a transmitter generally involves a switch, not a U link...

Perhaps the transmitter takes matters into its own hands if the sync pulses
disappear. And then there's the small matter of the sound Tx.

No Signal message for me on BBC 1 & 2
is anybody receiving BBC from Winter Hill ?

Yes since retune about 12:00, but getting no EPG when tuned to BBC1 on
both Humax 9200 and 8000, both working OK but slow on 4. Received EPG on
Samsung TV tuned to BBC1.

I wonder if there's something wrong with my Humax 8000 then, as it's not
seeing any BBC channels since this morning, despite several autotune
procedures. It identifies them all, but says they're scrambled or not
available. My other receivers, Panasonic, Tvonics and Samsung, all behave
perfectly on the same (looped) aerial feed. Perhaps I need to use a bigger
attenuator, but if anybody has any more clever ideas, I'm interested.

I have an old Philips (ITV Digital) box
I have retuned many times today & I still have no BBC 1 & 2
It does not indentify them but my channels start at 3 (ITV)
channel 1 & 2 blank.
Will I need a new Digital box ?

I suppose I asked for that :-)

Yes.

Oddly, pre-DSO Mux C has also moved (from UHF60), to the old pre-DSO Mux
1 frequency (UHF56).

Yes, I suspect that's because PSB 1 at Kendal (that DSO'd a few months
ago) moves on Nov 12th from Ch 64 to Ch 60.

Same problem with humax PVR150 - need to reset it (delete all channel
info) and then autotune, not just scan for changes.

Not sure there are any DTTV set top boxes that have an RF out thus
would use a Belling-Lee or F connector. As for RSA lead haven't a
clue what one of those is.

In Sainsburys this evening I saw one that's just larger than a pack of
cards and has only sockets for power, RF in and RF out, and an IR
extension. No SCART socket.

Fairy nuff. Engaging brain most would need RF in and RF out to loop
the signal to other devices, a modulator would be optional though.

Can't say I'm paying all the much attention to DTTV we aren't down
for DSO until 2012 and even then I probably won't bother with it
unless the technical quality improves a massive amount (oink flap).
Might get a box as a standby in case the dish gets blown off the
house.

If anyone knows of a (cheap) DTTV box that has a channel number
display on it I'd be interested for use a radio.
