If you receive your programmes from Malvern, then it is reported as being on reduced power during engineering work. As you have not given a full post code we cannot tell if that is significant for you.

Firstly, Malvern is reported to be on reduced power during engineering work. Secondly, this website is not connected with the transmitter operators. If you wish to contact then look at https://www.arqiva.com/co…us/. They are responsible for transmitter maintenance, etc.

MikeP: malvern transmitter - firstly i am mr g hall. secondly the website says "off air 16:08 to 16:15" (for 12/1/17). Not true, signal became useless at about 13:10 and off thereafter. It is still off (at 10:15 13/1/2017).

As most people using Malvern are not having any problem at all, that suggests strongly that you have a fault with your system. You need to thoroughly check through all the connections.

Many thanks to Freeview support for advising me that my TV problem was probably a fault with my system and not with the Malvern transmitter. Turned out that my loss of all channels at the same time as Arqiva doing maintenance was pure coincidence. Problem was a splitter that was upside-down and full of rainwater.
