Note, as work takes place on various digital transmitters (to prepare for the DSO) you may
experience problems, e.g. with certain MUXES disappearing. First try rescanning your
TV / set top box (do it manually if possible), but if this fails to work check on transmitter work
or call the reception advice phone numbers. Also see basic digital fault finding.

Totley Rise television transmitter started broadcasting in 1980 and is a relatively low power relay (or repeater) off Emley Moor (via Crosspool) which is "aimed" into the River Sheaf /
Old Hay Brook valley. It is necessary because some of this area is shielded from Emley, Crosspool and Belmont by the hills (see ATV topography map).
The TX is a vertically polarised and is a B group with a digital power output 16W.
Note that only the three basic PSB MUXES are transmitted from Totley, not all six of them.
However, what is transmitted is all within Totley`s original B group.

Totley transmitter`s Log Periodic array.
The bottom (vertically polarised) one receives the signal from Sheffield / Crosspool, which in turn
gets its signal from Emley Moor, thus it is a
repeater off a repeater !
The top array (also vertically polarised) retransmit into the valley.
Note the broadcast authorities use of
Log Periodics, an aerial we recommend
to use wherever possible.
