Mike Anderson: The BBC's system doesn't show a problem at Beacon Hill or at Wenvoe (a distant possibility). I can't get it to recognize the new Budleigh Salterton relay, which doesn't seem to appear on this site either. However, Budleigh Salterton operates in a Single Frequency Network with Beacon Hill, so if it had failed you should still get some signal from Beacon Hill, though notably less as Budleigh is vertically-polarized while Beacon Hill is horizontal.
Which direction does your aerial face, and which way is it polarized? That is, do the elements go left-to-right or up-and-down?
Normally I'd say to report the problem using the 'BBC Reception test' link next to your message, or in the top-right corner next to your postcode, but the BBC site thinks your postcode isn't in coverage. You can still try submitting a complaint through that route.
