It could be power lines BUT there is no detail, the BBC just report Freeview off-air due to a fault - From 7:36pm on 24th Jan 2025
DAB and FM were reported as being off-air - From 12:22pm on 24th Jan 2025
However, I also note Roseneath DAB and FM are reported off-air but Freeview isn't.

There is a power outage reported at the transmitter's postcode, G83 0AZ. While this doesn't mean for certain that it affects the supply to the transmitter, it seems a likely possibility. At the time of writing, the estimated restore time is 26th January at 14:00.
SP Energy Networks is responsible for the electricity network in the area. The incident reference for the transmitter's postcode is INCD-1116781-s, information on which can be viewed here:

It says that the incident was created on 24th January at 12:46.
