Our post code is DG7. We currently have no signal on Freeview and according to the information above the transmitter in New Galloway is off air. When do you anticipate it coming back on ?

no free view signal here in Ayr yesterday 18th September 2023 and again today. Very brief reception received today but it has now gone again.
Assume Engineering works are underway - correct ?

As you've probably seen from the report before your post, there was a fault. However there is nothing currently listed by the BBC or Arqiva. Weather conditions may also have had a temporary impact.
At the time, if you happened to retune when you had no signal or badly pixelated pictures (never advised) it's probably cleared most/all of your correct tuning.
Apart from checking your aerial is still looking intact and pointing correctly and your downlead isn't flapping in the wind, coax connections plugged in correctly with no corrosion etc. then try a manual retune on New Galloway's UHF channels as listed at the top of this page.

Having looked at your situation a little more closely, you are highly unlikely to be receiving the New Galloway transmitter in Ayr !!
As you haven't given a full postcode, it's impossible to advise on any issues with your most likely transmitter.
If you are actually receiving from Caldbeck, that is listed for Planned Engineering.

Darvel is the most likely main transmitter for most of Ayr. You may also get Black Hill in some southern parts of Ayr, you could even be getting the Ayr South relay.
All 3 transmitters are listed for Planned Engineering though none have been listed as being off-air recently.
