Sharp LC37X20E - No Digital reception.

<< < (2/2)

Davy:
It confused me too, just that I thought it needed  the 'set up' doing to 'fire' the digi tuner. Thought I'd post rather than 'sit on it'  in case it helped.

Where we are we can virtually see Winter Hill.... no digital aerials here all pre-digital. Funny thing before digital, I could be repairing as portable and get better reception from HTV than I could from Winter Hill on it's loop aerial.

Thanks Dave,

Not at all sure about 'Winter Hill' but will take a look, see where it is. Tacolneston from my place is about 30 miles West crow-wise, but reception so bad through the wood I pick up 'Sandy Heath' from West of Cambridge, and most everything else with a stronger signal.

Fortunately modern sets here go for the ' East Anglia' option, even though the reception is sometimes crap, signal wise - Chris.

Winter Hill , the location is Rivington moor Chorley in Lancashire. On a good day you can see Blackpool Tower

Been inside the TX room there, the TX tower halfway up is a balcony..... it has two lifts at the time of the visit non was working, not that we could go up - radiation hazard or you could shin up on ladders, planks every 20ft to stop you looking down. Even in a very slight breeze you could see the thing swing if you were on the balcony so I was told.

All the heat out the TX is used for heating the buildings.

Hi Dave,

Sounds impressive - Yesterday while having an early morning bath Radio 4 turned into an intermittent squark and TV from Tacolneston vanished for an hour or two.

Fortunately I don't run the shop, just try mend stuff when folks bring 'em in so wasn't bothered.

Reminds me of 'Continental Interference' where us lads (as were) were sent out with forty calls just in the afternoon and no chance of overtime. Our Ford vans hardly touched the ground, especially on corners. We even got used to the clutch cables breaking, and could do the biz without as the synchromesh was so good - Chris.
