Pat Davies, Vivienne JOnes & SANDRA BOWEN: According to the transmitter engineering notice above your posts, the Rheola transmitter has been off since 18:24 last night. It's unusual for planned engineering work to be carried out in the evening during prime time viewing, so it's likely that this is due to a fault. Do not attempt to retune, your channels will return when the transmitter is back on air.
