The BBC and Digital UK report there are no faults or engineering work on the Braid Hills (City of Edinburgh, Scotland) transmitter.

UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

Paul: There are transmitters in which serve small pockets otherwise not served by the main high- which is .

It is visible when standing looking across the Forth. Therefore you should consider where is probably best for your in relation to the transmitter. Clearly, if you are at a window facing away from the transmitter then your chances are lower than facing towards it. The higher up you are the better your chances.

If your TV or box is not tuned to Craigkelly and automatic tuning brings nothing in, even having moved the aerial to somewhere which may appear a better spot then use manual tuning if available.

When manual tuning, enter/select the desired UHF channel number but do not press the button to add , rather wait and see what strength and you have as in such circumstances the device usually acts like a signal meter thus you can move the aerial around to see where might be better -- give it several seconds to catch up though.

Craigkelly's are:

PSB1 - BBC One -
PSB2 - STV -
PSB3 - BBC One HD -
COM4 - ITV3 -
COM5 - Pick -
COM6 - 4Music -
COM7 - BBC News HD -
Local Edinburgh - ETV -

If it is a HD then PSB3 and COM7 are applicable. Should this be the case and the manual tuning screen has an option for signal -- DVB-T or DVB-T2 -- then PSB3 and COM7 are the latter and the rest are the former.

I'm having the same problems as Scott.

I'm also in and up until two days ago, the radio in the car and the house both worked perfectly. Now the is incredibly patchy and I can hardly get any stations at all on either tuner.

Not sure what has happened but it needs sorted out pronto!

I've been experiencing exactly the same issue. I just called the Arqiva broadcast monitoring helpdesk - they confirm there's a known issue at and engineers are currently working on it. They're hoping to get things back to normal by tomorrow.

I have noticed there has been a poor on and off since Friday morning. I missed my alarm at 7:05 as there was no radio signal. Luckily I woke up at 7:15. I was worried it was my bedside radio but the others I have are the same.

Signal was fine 10 minutes ago and dropped away to 0 again. Quite frustrating and hopefully it is resolved soon.
