If you receive your signal from Crosspool, BBC News HD has gone along with others, the SD version is 230. If you receive Emley Moor then retuning should get it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sounds like you're receiving your signals from Emley Moor, no channels closed from there, just moved. Also Sheffield Live was switched on at the Grenoside transmitter those with their aerials on Emley, until now it's only been broadcast from Crosspool.

I didn't think anything was happening up here on the 12th Feb ! Sandy Heath transmitter is having a MUX about but that's down near, er, Sandy. There, one MUX is moving to CH33, which Emley has a MUX on now as well. Maybe they think there may be co-channel issues, but I can't see why that would require a retune.....   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I lost quite a few channels today so I did the retune I am getting a message to retune again on Feb 12th....it's a pain in the arse. Everytime I have to retune I have to make a note of all the programs that are set to record ( over 20) and Re-enter all the information again.

catmiss   12 #30 Posted February 6, 2020 On Emily Moor transmitter and retuned this am- no message to retune again next week. Only realised serial recordings lost when one failed this afternoon. Channel ‘Sheffield Live’ appeared but not active-what’s that going to be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
iansheff   88 #31 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I also have had a message that I will need to retune on the 12th February but only on my upstairs TV, yet both my TVs are the same make and both had said needed to be retuned after the 5th. 12 hours ago, Colin Foster said: Sounds like you're receiving your signals from Emley Moor, no channels closed from there, just moved. Also Sheffield Live was switched on at the Grenoside transmitter those with their aerials on Emley, until now it's only been broadcast from Crosspool. Strange though that I was getting reminders daily that it would need retuning. Edited February 6, 2020 by iansheff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I cannot seem to find out why anyone round here should have to retune on the 12th Feb, unless Grenoside will be late starting transmissions, can anyone confirm that Grenoside has started transmitting the local Sheffield channel (on CH31) ?  NOTE : Grenoside has been chosen to transmit (just) the Sheffield local channel because many people in Sheffield with their aerials on Emley will be pointing more or less in that direction, thus people on Emley will also p/u the Sheffield channel (not just those on Crosspool transmitter).

Yes it has. Picking it up perfectly well despite Grenoside being about 30 degrees off bearing of Emley from my house.

Ghozer   112 #34 Posted February 6, 2020 Lots of HD channels have been removed, mostly +1's... Some moved around and such... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
metalman   21 #35 Posted February 6, 2020 Personally I'm sad to lose Forces TV, simply because they showed a lot of Space 1999 episodes not long ago. Pick seem to be showing it as well now and again, and we've still got that (though we've lost Pick+1). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Justin Smith   10 #36 Posted February 6, 2020 Apparently these possible messages saying retune "may* be required on Feb 12th" are for some people up near Leeds who are on repeater transmitters off Emley Moor. As far as I know nobody in the Sheffield area should need to retune their TVs on the 12th Feb.  * does it say "might" need retuning, or "will" need retuning ?   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
