Can you please tell me when the bbc standard definition channels will be reinstated on the Llandinam transmitter. I have an elderly neighbour who has an old television which cannot play high definition channels so she can't watch bbc at all at the moment. She does pay her licence fee!! Thankyou

Stuart Manson:
A fault has been reported according to the latest data from the BBC but Arqiva never provide details of such things as it will take time to get an engineer on site, discover and remedy the fault.
The fault reported is "From 10:35am on 30th Oct 2023 BBC A Off the air due to a fault"
Now the timing of that is after your post above which suggests the possibility of another problem if your neighbour hasn't been receiving the BBC channels for a while. When did she stop getting them?
Were you getting them prior to 1035?
The was a previous fault reported 3 days ago
From 3:44pm to 6:51pm on 27th Oct 2023 BBC A & BBCB HD Off the air due to a fault, along with the DAB & FM faults, that one suggests the whole transmitter may have been off-air (the BBC don't report on the ITV/C4/C5 channels) perhaps due to a power cut!. Have you been receiving other channels ok? have you had any power cuts in the area today?
