The bright green areas shown where the signal from this transmitter is strong, dark green areas are poorer signals. Those parts shown in yellow may have interference on the same frequency from other masts.

The Inverarish transmitter has not been transmitting any BBC chanels since 8 Dec when we had power outage. ITV and C4 are transmitting ok. When will this be fixed?

Janet Steele: Fort William is served by the Cow Hill transmitter which is a relay of the main station at Torosay (not Inverarish which you have posted under). Torosay is currently reported to be off air which will also cause a loss of signal at all of it's relays. As the fault originates at a main station it will be being worked on continuously until it is back on air. Do not attempt to retune your TV, your channels will return on their own as soon as the transmitter is fixed.

Janet Steele: According to BBC News a number of transmitters around Mull and Oban have lost service due to a suspected lightening strike and are being worked on to restore TV and radio services as soon as possible.
