I have lost almost all the stations since early evening today 13 Aug. Film 4 and E4 + 1 seem to have some signal but the rest are all off. I had the same problem on Thursday 11 Aug but it sorted itself out on Frida 12 Aug. My post code is BH220LT.

Why do we get transmitter info AFTER the events??
Would it be too much to ask to get advance warning of work or expected problem.
I am fed up with loosing signal over various digital programmes despite having all my receiving system upgraded .. if this is DVB then we need to keep the analogue setup.

Solent-Viewer: As the condition is a fault, it is not possible to give advanced warning of something unexpected... it's an unknown unknown.
You have not provided a full postcode so I can't comment about your reception.

What effect, if any, will the proposed wind farm between Swanage and the Isle of Wight have on Swanage TV reception ?

G. Chalmers: It depends if you are in a direct line between the transmitter and a windmill, as any direct object will effect reception.
