Carol Churcher: If you are receiving Freeview from the Aldeburgh transmitter then this is and possibly may still be, off air due to a mains power supply failure.

Radio & TV Investigation (which reports BBC engineering and faults) doesn't report an issue with the Aldeburgh transmitter.

UK Power Networks shows power cuts in the area and none are shown in the Aldeburgh area:
