Keith Vivian:
Update - apart from the transmitter being on the Planned Engineering list this week where -
"Screen may go black on some or all channels" -
the BBC update now states From 1:01pm to 3:21pm on 18th Nov 2024 Off the air due to essential engineering, so you should have you signal back.
I hope you did not try to retune when you had No signal, you cannot tune to signals that aren't there. The usual effect is to clear your correct tuning and you have to try again when signals are normal.
