What Rf out channel please?

londonr — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:42:23 GMT

Hi All

I'm nearest Alexandra Palace, but have checked my post code and m also in the Crystal Palace vicinity.

I'm struggling with the RF Out channel to use.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I am aware that there's a way to locate the best channels to use, given locality and use of local UHF channels, but haven't worked out how to find out this information.

Thanks

We are on the CP transmitter and use the default RF channel (68)

68 doesn't work at all.

34 has terrible static

Must be your TVs receiver not supporting the higher channels, try coming down from 60 50 and try the highest number that will work

Edit: 🙂 note 5G might affect the higher channels later in the year 😞

New TVs don't tune above channel 50, so the range of channels to choose from is diminishing. Try a channel in the 40s.

The highest channels, UHF 61-68 (800MHz band) have been used for 4G since 2013, and 4G and 5G are now rolling out on UHF 50-60 (700MHz band).
