Anyone who seems unable to get Freeview HD from the Lichfield transmitter - can you please see if you can also receive Channel 5 on analogue from the transmitter? Thanks.

The problem has been since early afternoon. Checked first with neighbours and as they were also not getting HD knew the problem was elsewhere and not with me. Spent a lot of time this afternoon trying to find a contact point to report the fault to, no luck. Who owns and operates the Transmitter?
